NAME
       MPI_File_get_position -	Returns the current position of the  individual file pointer in etype units relative to the current view

SYNOPSIS
       #include "mpi.h"
       int MPI_File_get_position(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset *offset)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       fh     - file handle (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       offset - offset of individual file pointer (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.
       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', 'MPI_File') are of type 'INTEGER' in Fortran.
