MPI_Type_get_extent(3)                MPI               MPI_Type_get_extent(3)


NAME

       MPI_Type_get_extent -  Get the lower bound and extent for a Datatype


SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Type_get_extent(MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Aint *lb, MPI_Aint *extent)


INPUT PARAMETER

       datatype
              - datatype to get information on (handle)


OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       lb     - lower bound of datatype (address integer)
       extent - extent of datatype (address integer)


THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This routine is both thread- and interrupt-safe.  This means that this
       routine may safely be used by multiple threads and from within a signal
       handler.


NOTES FOR FORTRAN

       All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have
       an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list.  ierr is
       an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
       in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with
       the call statement.

       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
       Fortran.


ERRORS

       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error
       value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
       the last argument.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI error
       handler is called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.
       The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for
       communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and
       MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows).  The MPI-1 routine
       MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated.  The
       predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error
       values to be returned.  Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI
       program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will
       attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
              - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not
              identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
       MPI_ERR_TYPE
              - Invalid datatype argument.  May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype
              (see MPI_Type_commit ).
