NAME

       MPI_Type_ub -  Returns the upper bound of a datatype

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Type_ub(MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Aint *displacement)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       datatype
              - datatype (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       displacement
              - displacement of upper bound from origin, in bytes (address integer)

DEPRECATED FUNCTION

       The MPI-2 standard deprecated a number of routines because MPI-2 provides better versions.
       This routine is one of those that was deprecated.  The routine may continue  to  be  used,
       but  new  code  should  use  the replacement routine.  The replacement for this routine is
       MPI_Type_get_extent

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This routine is both thread- and interrupt-safe.  This means that this routine may  safely
       be used by multiple threads and from within a signal handler.

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.  ierr  is  an  integer  and  has  the  same
       meaning  as  the  return  value  of  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 ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS

       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value;  C  routines  as
       the  value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.  Before the value is
       returned, the current MPI error handler is called.  By default, this error handler  aborts
       the  MPI  job.   The  error  handler  may  be  changed  with  MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for
       communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler  (for  RMA
       windows).   The  MPI-1  routine  MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated.
       The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause  error  values  to  be
       returned.   Note  that  MPI  does  not  guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an
       error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_TYPE
              - Invalid datatype argument.  Additionally, this error can occur if an  uncommitted
              MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit ) is used in a communication call.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
              -  Invalid  argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific
              error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
