MPI_Type_set_attr(3OpenMPI)											       MPI_Type_set_attr(3OpenMPI)

NAME
       MPI_Type_set_attr - Sets a key value/attribute pair to a data type.

SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_set_attr(MPI_Datatype type, int type_keyval,
	    void *attribute_val)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR(TYPE, TYPE_KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, IERROR)
	    INTEGER   TYPE, TYPE_KEYVAL, IERROR
	    INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) ATTRIBUTE_VAL

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Datatype::Set_attr(int type_keyval, const void* attribute_val)

INPUT
/OUTPUT PARAMETER
       type	 Data type to which attribute will be attached (handle).

INPUT PARAMETERS
       type_keyval
		 Key value (integer).

       attribute_val
		 Attribute value.

OUTPUT PARAMETER
       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       For the given data type, MPI_Type_set_attr sets the key value to the value of the specified attribute.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES
       The  MPI  standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the ATTRIBUTE_VAL argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-
       portable syntax

	    INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND ATTRIBUTE_VAL

       where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length of the declared integer in bytes.

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.
