       part of a split collective routine (nonblocking).

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       int MPI_File_write_at_all_begin(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset offset,
            const void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)

       USE MPI
       ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_FILE_WRITE_AT_ALL_BEGIN(FH, OFFSET, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, IERROR)
            <type>    BUF(*)
            INTEGER   FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, IERROR
            INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND) OFFSET

Fortran 2008 Syntax

            TYPE(MPI_File), INTENT(IN) :: fh

C++ Syntax

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

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

       fh        File handle (handle).

INPUT PARAMETERS

       offset    File offset (handle).

       buf       Initial address of buffer (choice).

       count     Number of elements in buffer (integer).

       datatype  Data type of each buffer element (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_File_write_at_all_begin is the beginning part  of  a  split  collective,  that  is,  a
       nonblocking routine that attempts to write into the file associated with fh (at the offset
       position) a total number of count data items having datatype type from the  user's  buffer
       buf.   The  offset  is in etype units relative to the current view. That is, holes are not
       counted when locating an offset. The  data  is  written  into  those  parts  of  the  file
       specified by the current view.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES

       The  MPI  standard  prescribes  portable  Fortran  syntax for the OFFSET argument only for
       Fortran 90.  FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax

            INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND OFFSET

       where MPI_OFFSET_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length of the declared
       integer in bytes.

NOTES

       All  the  nonblocking  collective  routines for data access are "split" into two routines,
       each with _begin or _end as a suffix. These split collective routines are subject  to  the
       semantic rules described in Section 9.4.5 of the MPI-2 standard.

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.
