This local routine allows the calling process to determine if a communicator is an inter-communicator or an intra-communicator. It returns true if it is an inter-communicator, otherwise false.
When an inter-communicator is used as an input argument to the communicator accessors described above under intra-communication, the following table describes behavior.
| MPI_COMM_SIZE | returns the size of the local group. |
| MPI_COMM_GROUP | returns the local group. |
| MPI_COMM_RANK | returns the rank in the local group |
Furthermore, the operation MPI_COMM_COMPARE is valid for inter-communicators. Both communicators must be either intra- or inter-communicators, or else MPI_UNEQUAL results. Both corresponding local and remote groups must compare correctly to get the results MPI_CONGRUENT or MPI_SIMILAR. In particular, it is possible for MPI_SIMILAR to result because either the local or remote groups were similar but not identical.
The following accessors provide consistent access to the remote group of an inter-communicator. The following are all local operations.
| MPI_COMM_REMOTE_SIZE(comm, size) | |
| IN comm | inter-communicator (handle) |
| OUT size | number of processes in the remote group of comm (integer) |

Rationale.
Symmetric access to both the local and remote groups of an inter-communicator
is important, so this function, as well as MPI_COMM_REMOTE_SIZE have
been provided.
( End of rationale.)
