pvm_setsbuf - Switches the active send buffer.
Contents
Description
The routine pvm_setsbuf switches the active send buffer to bufid and saves the previous active send
buffer oldbuf. If bufid is set to 0 then the present active send buffer is saved and no active send
buffer exists.
The routine is required when managing multiple message buffers. For example switching back and forth
between two buffers. One buffer could be used to send information to a graphical interface while a
second buffer could be used send data to other tasks in the application.
Errors
These error conditions can be returned by pvm_setsbuf
PvmBadParam
giving an invalid bufid.
PvmNoSuchBuf
switching to a non-existent message buffer.
Examples
C:
sbuf1 = pvm_setsbuf( sbuf2 );
Fortran:
CALL PVMFSETSBUF( NEWBUF, OLDBUF )
