INPUT PARAMETERS

fh: File handle (handle).

       • offset: File offset (integer).

       • count: Number of elements in the buffer (integer).

       • datatype: Data type of each buffer element (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

buf: Initial address of the buffer (choice).

       • request: Request object (handle).

       • ierror: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_File_iread_at is the nonblocking version of MPI_File_read_at.

       MPI_File_iread_at  is a nonblocking routine that attempts to read from the file associated with fh at the
       offset position a total number of count data items having datatype type into 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 taken out of those parts of the file specified by the current view. MPI_File_iread_at
       stores the number of datatype elements actually read in status. All other fields of status are undefined.

ERRORS

       Almost  all  MPI  routines  return  an  error  value; C routines as the return result of the function and
       Fortran routines in the last argument.

       Before the error value is returned, the current MPI  error  handler  associated  with  the  communication
       object  (e.g.,  communicator, window, file) is called.  If no communication object is associated with the
       MPI call, then the call is considered attached to MPI_COMM_SELF and will call the  associated  MPI  error
       handler.   When   MPI_COMM_SELF   is   not  initialized  (i.e.,  before  MPI_Init/MPI_Init_thread,  after
       MPI_Finalize, or when using the Sessions Model exclusively) the error raises the initial  error  handler.
       The  initial  error handler can be changed by calling MPI_Comm_set_errhandler on MPI_COMM_SELF when using
       the World model, or the mpi_initial_errhandler CLI argument to mpiexec or info  key  to  MPI_Comm_spawn/‐
       MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple.   If no other appropriate error handler has been set, then the MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
       error handler is called for MPI I/O functions and the MPI_ERRORS_ABORT error handler is  called  for  all
       other MPI functions.

       Open MPI includes three predefined error handlers that can be used:

       • MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL Causes the program to abort all connected MPI processes.

       • MPI_ERRORS_ABORT An error handler that can be invoked on a communicator, window, file, or session. When
         called on a communicator, it acts as if MPI_Abort was called on  that  communicator.  If  called  on  a
         window  or file, acts as if MPI_Abort was called on a communicator containing the group of processes in
         the corresponding window or file. If called on a session, aborts only the local process.

       • MPI_ERRORS_RETURN Returns an error code to the application.

       MPI applications can also implement their own error handlers by calling:

       • MPI_Comm_create_errhandler then MPI_Comm_set_errhandlerMPI_File_create_errhandler then MPI_File_set_errhandlerMPI_Session_create_errhandler then MPI_Session_set_errhandler or at MPI_Session_initMPI_Win_create_errhandler then MPI_Win_set_errhandler

       Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

       See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.

       See the Error Handling section of the MPI-3.1 standard for more information.
