MPI_Type_extent(3)

NAME
     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.
