MPI_Type_get_name(3OpenMPI)											       MPI_Type_get_name(3OpenMPI)

NAME
       MPI_Type_get_name - Gets the name of a data type.

SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_get_name(MPI_Datatype type, char *type_name,
	    int *resultlen)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       TYPE_GET_NAME(TYPE, TYPE_NAME, RESULTLEN, IERROR)
	    INTEGER   TYPE, RESULTLEN, IERROR
	    CHARACTER*(*) TYPE_NAME

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Datatype::Get_name(char* type_name, int& resultlen)
	    const

INPUT PARAMETER
       type	 Data type whose name is to be returned (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       type_name The name previously stored on the data type, or an empty string if not such name exists (string).

       resultlen Length of returned name (integer).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       MPI_Type_get_name returns the printable identifier associated with an MPI data type.

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.
