NAME

       MPI_File_iread_shared  -  Reads  a  file  using  the  shared  file  pointer  (nonblocking,
       noncollective).

SYNTAX

       C Syntax
           #include <mpi.h>
           int MPI_File_iread_shared(MPI_File fh, void *buf, int count,
                  MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax

           INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
           MPI_FILE_IREAD_SHARED(FH, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR)
                 <type>         BUF(*)
                 INTEGER        FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Request MPI::File::Iread_shared(void* buf, int count,
            const MPI::Datatype& datatype)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

       fh        File handle (handle).

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count     Number of elements in buffer (integer).

       datatype  Data type of each buffer element (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       buf       Initial address of buffer (choice).

       request   Request object (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_File_iread_shared is a nonblocking version of the MPI_File_read_shared  interface.  It
       uses  the  shared  file  pointer  to  read  files.  The  order  of serialization among the
       processors is not deterministic for this noncollective routine, so you need to  use  other
       methods of synchronization to impose a particular order among processors.

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.
