MPI_Type_hindexed(3)						      LAM/MPI						      MPI_Type_hindexed(3)

NAME
       MPI_Type_hindexed -  Creates an indexed datatype with offsets in bytes

SYNOPSIS
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_hindexed(int count, int *lengths,
	       MPI_Aint *disps, MPI_Datatype oldtype,
	       MPI_Datatype *newtype)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       count  - number of blocks -- also number of entries in indices and blocklens
       lengths
	      - number of elements in each block (array of nonnegative integers)
       disps  - byte displacement of each block (array of MPI_Aint)
       oldtype
	      - old datatype (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER
       newtype
	      - new datatype (handle)

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.

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.
