NAME

       MPI_Status_f2c,  MPI_Status_c2f   -  Translates  a C status into a Fortran status, or vice
       versa.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Status_f2c(const MPI_Fint *f_status, MPI_Status *c_status)
       int MPI_Status_c2f(const MPI_Status *c_status, MPI_Fint *f_status)

DESCRIPTION

       These two procedures are provided in C to convert from a Fortran status (which is an array
       of  integers)  to a C status (which is a structure), and vice versa. The conversion occurs
       on all the information in status, including that which  is  hidden.  That  is,  no  status
       information is lost in the conversion.

       When  using  MPI_Status_f2c,  if  f_status  is a valid Fortran status, but not the Fortran
       value of MPI_STATUS_IGNORE or MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE, then MPI_Status_f2c returns in c_status
       a   valid  C  status  with  the  same  content.  If  f_status  is  the  Fortran  value  of
       MPI_STATUS_IGNORE or MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE, or if f_status is not a  valid  Fortran  status,
       then the call is erroneous.

       When   using   MPI_Status_c2f,   the  opposite  conversion  is  applied.  If  c_status  is
       MPI_STATUS_IGNORE or MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE, or if c_status is not a valid C status, then the
       call is erroneous.

       The  C  status  has  the same source, tag and error code values as the Fortran status, and
       returns the  same  answers  when  queried  for  count,  elements,  and  cancellation.  The
       conversion  function  may  be  called with a Fortran status argument that has an undefined
       error field, in which case the value of the error  field  in  the  C  status  argument  is
       undefined.
