NAME

       MPI_File_iread_at_all  -  Reads  a  file  at  an explicitly specified offset (nonblocking,
       collective).

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h> int MPI_File_iread_at_all(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset offset,      void *buf,
       int count, MPI_Datatype datatype,      MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)

       USE MPI
       ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_FILE_IREAD_AT_ALL(FH, OFFSET, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR)
            <type>    BUF(*)
            INTEGER   FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR
            INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND) OFFSET

INPUT PARAMETERS

       fh        File handle (handle).

       offset    File offset (integer).

       count     Number of elements in the buffer (integer).

       datatype  Data type of each buffer element (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       buf       Initial address of the buffer (choice).

       request   Request object (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_File_iread_at_all is the nonblocking version of MPI_File_read_at_all.

       MPI_File_iread_at_all  is  a  nonblocking  routine  that  attempts  to  read from the file
       associated with fh at the offset position a  total  number  of  count  data  items  having
       datatype  type  into  the user's buffer buf.  The offset is in etype units relative to the
       current view. That is, holes are not counted when locating an offset. The  data  is  taken
       out of those parts of the file specified by the current view. MPI_File_iread_at_all stores
       the number of datatype elements actually read in status.  All other fields of  status  are
       undefined.

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-portable syntax

            INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND OFFSET

       where MPI_OFFSET_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++ functions 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.
