NAME

       MPI_Get_elements -  Returns the number of basic elements in a datatype

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Get_elements(const MPI_Status *status, MPI_Datatype datatype, int *count)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       status - return status of receive operation (Status)
       datatype
              - datatype used by receive operation (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       count  - number of received basic elements (integer)

NOTES

       If the size of the datatype is zero and the amount of data returned as determined by status is also zero,
       this routine will return a count of zero.  This is consistent with a clarification made by the MPI Forum.

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 ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS

       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of  the
       function  and Fortran routines in the last argument.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI error
       handler is called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error handler may be  changed
       with    MPI_Comm_set_errhandler   (for   communicators),   MPI_File_set_errhandler   (for   files),   and
       MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows).  The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but  its  use
       is  deprecated.   The  predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be
       returned.  Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however,  MPI
       implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
