MPI_File_get_position(3OpenMPI) 										   MPI_File_get_position(3OpenMPI)

NAME
       MPI_File_get_position - Returns the current position of the individual file pointer.

SYNTAX
       C Syntax
	   #include <mpi.h>
	   int MPI_File_get_position(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset *offset)

       Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
	   INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
	   MPI_FILE_GET_POSITION(FH, OFFSET, IERROR)
		  INTEGER FH, IERROR
		  INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND) OFFSET

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Offset MPI::File::Get_position() const

INPUT PARAMETER
       fh	 File handle (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       offset	 Offset of the individual file pointer (integer).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       MPI_File_get_position  returns,	in offset, the current position of the individual file pointer in etype units relative to the current dis-
       placement and file type.

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

	    INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND OFFSET

       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. For MPI I/O function errors, the default error handler is set
       to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. The error handler may be changed with MPI_File_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL  may
       be used to make I/O errors fatal. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
