.SH INPUT PARAMETERS
.ft R
.TP 1.4i
errorcode
MPI error class, or an error code returned by an MPI routine (integer).
.ft R

Text that corresponds to the error code or class (string).

.SH OUTPUT PARAMETER
.ft R
.TP 1.4i
IERROR
Fortran only: Error status (integer). 

.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
This routine associates an error string with an error code or
class. Calling MPI_Add_error_string for an error code or class that
already has an associated error string will replace the old string
with the new one. It is erroneous to call MPI_Add_error_string for an
error value not generated via MPI_Add_error_class or
MPI_Add_error_code (e.g., an error code or class with a value not
greater than MPI_LAST_ERRCODE).

.SH ERRORS
.ft R
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as
the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++
functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.
.sp
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for
I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with
MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not
guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
