MPI_Type_contiguous(3)

NAME
     MPI_Type_contiguous - Creates a contiguous datatype

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Type_contiguous( count, old_type, newtype )
          int          count;
          MPI_Datatype old_type;
          MPI_Datatype *newtype;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          Datatype Datatype::Create_contiguous(
          int               count) const


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          INTEGER count, oldtype, newtype, ierror

          CALL MPI_TYPE_CONTIGUOUS(count, oldtype, newtype, 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_contiguous routine creates a contiguous data type.  This
     routine accepts the following parameters:

     count     Specifies the replication count (nonnegative integer)

     old_type  Specifies the old data type (handle)

     newtype   Returns the new data type (handle)

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