DESCRIPTION

       Handles are passed between Fortran and C or C++ by using an explicit C wrapper to convert Fortran handles to C handles. There is no  direct
       access  to  C or C++ handles in Fortran. Handles are passed between C and C++ using overloaded C++ operators called from C++ code. There is
       no direct access to C++ objects from C. The type definition MPI_Fint is provided in C/C++ for an integer of the size that matches a Fortran
       INTEGER;  usually,  MPI_Fint will be equivalent to int. The handle translation functions are provided in C to convert from a Fortran handle
       (which is an integer) to a C handle, and vice versa.

       For example, if comm is a valid Fortran handle to a communicator, then MPI_Comm_f2c returns a valid C handle to that same communicator;	if
       comm  =	MPI_COMM_NULL  (Fortran value), then MPI_Comm_f2c returns a null C handle; if comm is an invalid Fortran handle, then MPI_Comm_f2c
       returns an invalid C handle.

NOTE

       This function does not return an error value. Consequently, the result of calling it before MPI_Init or after MPI_Finalize is undefined.
