               INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

       o type_keyval: Key value to free (integer).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       o ierror: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
ERRORS
       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the return
       result of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.

       Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler
       associated with the communication object (e.g., communicator, window,
       file) is called.  If no communication object is associated with the MPI
       call, then the call is considered attached to MPI_COMM_SELF and will
       call the associated MPI error handler. When MPI_COMM_SELF is not
       initialized (i.e., before MPI_Init/MPI_Init_thread, after MPI_Finalize,
       or when using the Sessions Model exclusively) the error raises the
       initial error handler. The initial error handler can be changed by
       calling MPI_Comm_set_errhandler on MPI_COMM_SELF when using the World
       model, or the mpi_initial_errhandler CLI argument to mpiexec or info
       key to MPI_Comm_spawn/MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple.  If no other appropriate
       error handler has been set, then the MPI_ERRORS_RETURN error handler is
       called for MPI I/O functions and the MPI_ERRORS_ABORT error handler is
       called for all other MPI functions.

       Open MPI includes three predefined error handlers that can be used:

       o MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL Causes the program to abort all connected MPI
         processes.

       o MPI_ERRORS_ABORT An error handler that can be invoked on a
         communicator, window, file, or session. When called on a
         communicator, it acts as if MPI_Abort was called on that
         communicator. If called on a window or file, acts as if MPI_Abort was
         called on a communicator containing the group of processes in the
         corresponding window or file. If called on a session, aborts only the
         local process.

       o MPI_ERRORS_RETURN Returns an error code to the application.

       MPI applications can also implement their own error handlers by
       calling:

       o MPI_Comm_create_errhandler then MPI_Comm_set_errhandler

       o MPI_File_create_errhandler then MPI_File_set_errhandler

       o MPI_Session_create_errhandler then MPI_Session_set_errhandler or at
         MPI_Session_init

       o MPI_Win_create_errhandler then MPI_Win_set_errhandler

       Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past
       an error.

       See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.

       See the Error Handling section of the MPI-3.1 standard for more
       information.
