NAME

       MPI_Type_hvector -  Creates a vector (strided) datatype with offset in bytes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_hvector(int count, int length,
                           MPI_Aint stride, MPI_Datatype oldtype,
                           MPI_Datatype *newtype)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count  - number of blocks (nonnegative integer)
       length - number of elements in each block (nonnegative integer)
       stride - number of bytes between start of each block (integer)
       oldtype
              - old datatype (handle)

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.
