.SH INPUT PARAMETERS
.ft R
.TP 1i
comm
Communicator with Cartesian structure (handle).
.TP 1i
maxdims
Length of vectors dims, periods, and coords in the calling program (integer).

.SH OUTPUT PARAMETERS
.ft R
.TP 1i
dims
Number of processes for each Cartesian dimension (array of integers).
.TP 1i
periods
Periodicity (true/false) for each Cartesian dimension (array of logicals).
.TP 1i
coords
Coordinates of calling process in Cartesian structure (array of integers).
.ft R
.TP 1i
IERROR
Fortran only: Error status (integer).

.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
The functions MPI_Cartdim_get and MPI_Cart_get return the Cartesian topology information that was associated with a communicator by MPI_Cart_create.

.SH ERRORS
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.
