:ref:`MPI_Group_range_excl` |mdash| Produces a group by excluding ranges of processes from an existing group.

group
: Group (handle).n
: Number of triplets in array ranges (integer).ranges
: A one-dimensional array of integer triplets of the form (first rank, last rank, stride), indicating the ranks in group of processes to be excluded from the output group newgroup.
newgroup
: New group derived from above, preserving the order in group (handle).ierror
: Fortran only: Error status (integer).
Each computed rank must be a valid rank in group and all computed ranks must be distinct, or else the program is erroneous.
The functionality of this routine is specified to be equivalent to expanding the array of ranges to an array of the excluded ranks and passing the resulting array of ranks and other arguments to :ref:`MPI_Group_excl`. A call to :ref:`MPI_Group_excl` is equivalent to a call to :ref:`MPI_Group_range_excl` with each rank i in ranks replaced by the triplet (i,i,1) in the argument ranges.
