NAME

       MPI_Attr_put -  Stores attribute value associated with a key

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Attr_put(MPI_Comm comm, int keyval, void *attribute_val)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       comm   - communicator to which attribute will be attached (handle)
       keyval - key value, as returned by MPI_KEYVAL_CREATE (integer)
       attribute_val
              - attribute value

NOTES

       Values  of the permanent attributes MPI_TAG_UB , MPI_HOST , MPI_IO , MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL ,
       MPI_UNIVERSE_SIZE , MPI_LASTUSEDCODE , and MPI_APPNUM may not be changed.

       The type of the attribute value depends on whether C, C++, or Fortran is being used.  In C
       and  C++, an attribute value is a pointer ( void * ); in Fortran, it is a single integer (
       not a pointer, since Fortran has no pointers and there are systems  for  which  a  pointer
       does  not  fit  in  an  integer  (e.g.,  any > 32 bit address system that uses 64 bits for
       Fortran DOUBLE PRECISION ).

       If an attribute is already present, the delete function (specified when the  corresponding
       keyval was created) will be called.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This  routine is thread-safe.  This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple
       threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks.  However, the routine is  not
       interrupt  safe.   Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as
       malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

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_Comm_set_attr .

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_COMM
              - Invalid communicator.  A common error is to use a null  communicator  in  a  call
              (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
       MPI_ERR_KEYVAL
              - Invalid keyval
       MPI_ERR_ARG
              -  This error class is associated with an error code that indicates that an attempt
              was made to free one of the permanent keys.
