NAME

       MPI_Send_init - Builds a handle for a standard send.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Send_init(void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype,
	    int dest, int tag, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_SEND_INIT(BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, REQUEST,
		 IERROR)
	    <type>    BUF(*)
	    INTEGER   REQUEST, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG
	    INTEGER   COMM, REQUEST, IERROR

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       Prequest Comm::Send_init(const void* buf, int count, const
	    Datatype& datatype, int dest, int tag) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       buf	 Initial address of send buffer (choice).

       count	 Number of elements to send (integer).

       datatype  Type of each element (handle).

       dest	 Rank of destination (integer).

       tag	 Message tag (integer).

       comm	 Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       request	 Communication request (handle).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Creates a persistent communication request for a standard mode send operation, and binds to it all the arguments of a send operation.

       A communication (send or receive) that uses a persistent request is initiated by the function MPI_Start or MPI_Startall.

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++ func-
       tions 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.
