MPI_Get_elements(3)

NAME
     MPI_Get_elements - Returns the number of basic elements in a data type

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Get_elements ( status, datatype, elements )
          MPI_Status    *status;
          MPI_Datatype  datatype;
          int          *elements;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int Status::Get_elements(
          const Datatype&   datatype) const


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          INTEGER status(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), datatype, count, ierror

          CALL MPI_GET_ELEMENTS(status, datatype, count, 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_Get_elements routine returns the number of basic elements in a
     data type.  This routine accepts the following parameters:

     status    Specifies the return status of the receive operation (status)

     datatype  Specifies the data type used by the receive operation (handle)

     elements  Returns the number of received basic elements (integer)

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