HALT(3PVM)

💖 HALT(3PVM) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the PVM Version 3.4 page for pvm_halt, and no cap this one is the nuclear option ✨

---

🌈 NAME 🌈

pvm_halt — shuts down the entire PVM system. like, all of it. every last crumb. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

C girlies, you're writing this:

int info = pvm_halt( void )

Fortran besties, you're writing this:

call pvmfhalt( info )

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• info — an Integer that returns the error status. she's the receipts, she tells you if it went off or if it flopped. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so. pvm_halt shuts down the entire PVM system. not a little bit. the whole thing. 🫠

what's getting taken out, you ask? everything:

• remote tasks 💀
• remote pvmds 💀
• the local tasks (including the calling task — yes babe, that's you) 💀
• the local pvmd 💀

it's giving apocalypse. it's giving "I'm taking the whole group chat down with me." iconic honestly.

🚨 the one thing you cannot skip: the task calling pvm_halt() must ignore or catch signal SIGTERM or it will be killed along with all the others. no exceptions. no vibes-based workaround. if you don't handle SIGTERM, you're going down with the ship, periodt. 😭

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

these are the error conditions that can be returned:

• PvmSysErr — the local pvmd is not responding. she's ghosting you. lowkey the worst feeling. 🙈
