MPI_Type_extent - Returns the extent of a data type


SYNOPSIS

       C:

            #include <mpi.h>

            int MPI_Type_extent( datatype, extent )
            MPI_Datatype  datatype;
            MPI_Aint     *extent;

       C++:

            #include <mpi.h>

            void Datatype::Get_extent(
            Aint&             lb,
            Aint&             extent) const

       Fortran:

            INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

            INTEGER  datatype, extent, ierror

            CALL MPI_TYPE_EXTENT(datatype, extent, ierror)


STANDARDS

       This release implements the MPI 1.2 standard, as
       documented by the MPI Forum in the spring 1997 release of
       MPI:  A Message Passing Interface Standard.


DESCRIPTION

       The MPI_Type_extent routine returns the extent of a data
       type.  This routine accepts the following parameters:

       datatype  Specifies the data type (handle)

       extent    Returns the data type extent (integer)

       ierror    Specifies the return code value for successful
                 completion, which is in MPI_SUCCESS.
                 MPI_SUCCESS is defined in the mpif.h file.
