NAME

       MPI_File_read_shared -  Read using shared file pointer

SYNOPSIS

       #include "mpi.h"
       int MPI_File_read_shared(MPI_File fh, void *buf, int count,
                         MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Status *status)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       fh     - file handle (handle)
       count  - number of elements in buffer (nonnegative integer)
       datatype
              - datatype of each buffer element (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       buf    - initial address of buffer (choice)
       status - status object (Status)

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', 'MPI_File') are of  type  'INTEGER'  in
       Fortran.
