NAME
       MPI_File_preallocate -  Preallocates storage space for a file

SYNOPSIS
       int MPI_File_preallocate(MPI_File mpi_fh, MPI_Offset size)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       fh     - file handle (handle)
       size   - size to preallocate (nonnegative integer)

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.
