MPI_Type_size(3)

NAME
     MPI_Type_size - Returns the number of bytes occupied by entries in the
     data type

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Type_size ( datatype, size )
          MPI_Datatype  datatype;
          int      *size;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int Datatype::Get_size() const


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          INTEGER datatype, size, ierror

          CALL MPI_TYPE_SIZE(datatype, size, 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_size routine returns the number of bytes occupied by
     entries.  This routine accepts the following parameters:

     datatype  Specifies the data type (handle)

     size      Returns the data type size (integer)

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