MPI_Start(3)

NAME
     MPI_Start - Initiates a communication with a persistent request handle

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Start( request )
          MPI_Request *request;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          void Prequest::Start()


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          INTEGER request, ierror

          CALL MPI_START(request, 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_Start routine initiates a communication by using a persistent
     request handle.  This routine accepts the following parameter:

     request   Specifies the communication request (handle)

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