NAME

       MPI_Startall -  Starts a collection of persistent requests

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Startall(int count, MPI_Request array_of_requests[])

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count  - list length (integer)
       array_of_requests
              - array of requests (array of handle)

NOTES

       Unlike  MPI_Waitall  ,  MPI_Startall  does  not  provide  a  mechanism  for returning multiple errors nor
       pinpointing the request(s) involved.  Furthermore, the behavior of MPI_Startall after an error occurs  is
       not  defined  by  the  MPI standard.  If well-defined error reporting and behavior are required, multiple
       calls to MPI_Start should be used instead.

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.

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_ARG
              - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identified  by  a  specific  error  class
              (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
       MPI_ERR_REQUEST
              -  Invalid  MPI_Request  .   Either  null  or,  in the case of a MPI_Start or MPI_Startall , not a
              persistent request.
