NAME
       MPI_Type_struct -  Creates a struct datatype


SYNOPSIS
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_struct(int count, int *lengths,
                          MPI_Aint *disps, MPI_Datatype *oldtypes,
                          MPI_Datatype *newtype)


INPUT PARAMETERS
       count  -   number   of   blocks   (integer)  --  also  number  of  entries  in  arrays  array_of_types  ,
              array_of_displacements  and array_of_blocklengths
       blocklens
              - number of elements in each block (array)
       indices
              - byte displacement of each block (array)
       old_types
              - type of elements in each block (array of handles to datatype objects)


OUTPUT PARAMETER
       newtype
              - new datatype (handle)


NOTES
       This function is deprecated.  It has been replaced with an MPI-2 function (see the  "See  also"  section,
       below),  which  provides  the  same functionality.  This function is (or effectively is) a wrapper to the
       replacement function, anyway.  User programs should use the MPI-2 replacement function  instead  of  this
       function.

       Some  functions  are deprecated because their names did not conform to the stricter naming conventions of
       MPI-2; others are deprecated because they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.

MORE INFORMATION
       For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which contains the  text  of  both  the
       MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards.  These documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of
       which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
       The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to generate man  pages  ("doctext"
       from  ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sowing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text for
       most of the MPI-1 man pages.
