NAME

       MPI_T_category_changed -  Get the timestamp indicating the last change to the categories

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_T_category_changed(int *stamp)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       stamp  - a virtual time stamp to indicate the last change to the categories (integer)

NOTES

       If  two  subsequent  calls  to this routine return the same timestamp, it is guaranteed that the category
       information has not changed between the two calls. If the timestamp retrieved from  the  second  call  is
       higher, then some categories have been added or expanded.

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.

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_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED
              - The MPI tool information interface is not initialized.
