MPI_Type_vector(3)

NAME
     MPI_Type_vector - Creates a vector (strided) data type

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Type_vector( count, blocklen, stride,
          old_type, newtype )
          int          count;
          int       blocklen;
          int       stride;
          MPI_Datatype old_type;
          MPI_Datatype *newtype;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          Datatype Datatype::Create_vector(
          int               count,
          int               blocklength,
          int               stride) const


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          INTEGER count, blocklength, stride, oldtype, newtype, ierror

          CALL MPI_TYPE_VECTOR(count, blocklength, stride, 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_vector routine creates a vector (strided) data type.  This
     routine accepts the following parameters:

     count          Specifies the number of blocks (nonnegative integer)

     blocklen       Specifies the number of elements in each block
                    (nonnegative integer)
     stride         Specifies the number of elements between the start of each
                    block (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.
