MPI_Type_get_name(3)               Open MPI               MPI_Type_get_name(3)



NAME
       MPI_Type_get_name - Gets the name of a data type.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_get_name(MPI_Datatype type, char *type_name,
            int *resultlen)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       TYPE_GET_NAME(TYPE, TYPE_NAME, RESULTLEN, IERROR)
            INTEGER   TYPE, RESULTLEN, IERROR
            CHARACTER*(*) TYPE_NAME


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Datatype::Get_name(char* type_name, int& resultlen)
            const


INPUT PARAMETER
       type      Data type whose name is to be returned (handle).


OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       type_name The name previously stored on the data type, or an empty
                 string if not such name exists (string).

       resultlen Length of returned name (integer).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).


DESCRIPTION
       MPI_Type_get_name returns the printable identifier associated with an
       MPI data type.


ERRORS
       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
       of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++
       functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to
       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
       will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

       Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
       called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for
       I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with
       MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
       may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does
       not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
