NAME

       MPI_File_write_ordered_begin  -  Writes  a  file  at a location specified by a shared file
       pointer; beginning part of a split collective routine (nonblocking).

SYNTAX

       C Syntax
           #include <mpi.h>
           int MPI_File_write_ordered_begin(MPI_File fh, void *buf,
                  int count, MPI_Datatype datatype)

Fortran Syntax

           INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
           MPI_FILE_WRITE_ORDERED_BEGIN(FH, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, IERROR)
                 <type>         BUF(*)
                 INTEGER        FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::File::Write_ordered_begin(const void* buf, int count,
            const MPI::Datatype& datatype)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

       fh        File handle (handle).

INPUT PARAMETERS

       buf       Initial address of buffer (choice).

       count     Number of elements in buffer (integer).

       datatype  Data type of each buffer element (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_File_write_ordered_begin is the beginning part  of  a  split  collective,  nonblocking
       routine that must be called by all processes in the communicator group associated with the
       file handle fh.  Each process may pass different argument  values  for  the  datatype  and
       count arguments. After all processes of the group have issued their respective calls, each
       process attempts to write, into the file associated with fh, a total number of count  data
       items  having  datatype  type  contained  in the user's buffer buf.  For each process, the
       location in the file at which data is written is the position at  which  the  shared  file
       pointer  would  be  after all processes whose ranks within the group are less than that of
       this process had written their data.

NOTES

       All the nonblocking collective routines for data access are  "split"  into  two  routines,
       each  with  _begin or _end as a suffix. These split collective routines are subject to the
       semantic rules described in Section 9.4.5 of the MPI-2 standard.

ERRORS

       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and
       Fortran  routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default
       error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then  on  error  the  C++  exception
       mechanism will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

       Before  the  error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. For MPI I/O
       function errors, the default error handler is set to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. The error  handler
       may    be   changed   with   MPI_File_set_errhandler;   the   predefined   error   handler
       MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL may be used to  make  I/O  errors  fatal.  Note  that  MPI  does  not
       guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
