MPI_Type_set_name(3)							MPI						      MPI_Type_set_name(3)

NAME

       MPI_Type_set_name -  set datatype name

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Type_set_name(MPI_Datatype type, char *type_name)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       type   - datatype whose identifier is to be set (handle)
       type_name
	      - the character string which is remembered as the name (string)

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

       All  MPI  routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list.  ierr
       is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C.	In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are  invoked
       with the call statement.

       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS

       All  MPI  routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
       the last argument.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called.  By default, this error handler aborts  the  MPI
       job.   The  error  handler  may	be  changed  with  MPI_Comm_set_errhandler  (for  communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and
       MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows).  The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its  use  is  deprecated.   The	predefined
       error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned.  Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can
       continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
	      - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
	      - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
       MPI_ERR_TYPE
	      - Invalid datatype argument.  May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit ).
       MPI_ERR_OTHER
	      - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.

NAME

       MPI_Type_dup -  Duplicate a datatype

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Type_dup(MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Datatype *newtype)

INPUT PARAMETER

       type   - datatype (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       newtype
	      - copy of type (handle)

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This  routine  is  thread-safe.	This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
       thread locks.  However, the routine is not interrupt safe.  Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as  malloc
       or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.
