NAME

       MPI_Type_extent -  Returns the extent of a datatype

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_extent(MPI_Datatype dtype, MPI_Aint *pextent)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       dtype  - datatype (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       pextent
	      - datatype extent (integer)

NOTES

       This  function  is  deprecated.	 It  has been replaced with an MPI-2 function (see the "See also" section, below), which provides the same
       functionality.  This function is (or effectively is) a wrapper to the replacement function, anyway.  User programs  should  use	the  MPI-2
       replacement function instead of this function.

       Some  functions	are  deprecated  because  their  names	did not conform to the stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated
       because they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.

SEE ALSO

       MPI_Type_get_extent

MORE INFORMATION

       For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which contains the text of both the MPI-1  and  MPI-2	standards.   These
       documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to generate man pages ("doctext" from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sow-
       ing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text for most of the MPI-1 man pages.
