NAME

       MPI_T_pvar_start, MPI_T_pvar_stop - Start/stop a performance variable

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_T_pvar_start(MPI_T_pvar_session session, MPI_T_pvar_handle handle)

       int MPI_T_pvar_stop(MPI_T_pvar_session session, MPI_T_pvar_handle handle)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       session   Performance experiment session.

       handle    Performance variable handle.

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_T_pvar_start starts the performance variable with the handle specified in handle.  The
       special value MPI_T_PVAR_ALL_HANDLES can be passed in handle to start  all  non-continuous
       handles in the session specified in session.

       MPI_T_pvar_stop  stops  the performance variable with the handle specified in handle.  The
       special value MPI_T_PVAR_ALL_HANDLES can be passed in handle to  stop  all  non-continuous
       handles in the session specified in session.

       Continuous performance variables can neither be started nor stopped.

ERRORS

       MPI_T_pvar_start() and MPI_T_pvar_stop() will fail if:

       [MPI_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED]
                 The MPI Tools interface not initialized

       [MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_SESSION]
                 Session parameter is not a valid session

       [MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_HANDLE]
                 Invalid handle or handle not associated with the session

       [MPI_T_ERR_PVAR_NO_STARTSTOP]
                 The variable cannot be started or stopped
