NAME

       MPI_Send_init - Builds a handle for a standard send.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Send_init(void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype,
            int dest, int tag, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_SEND_INIT(BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, REQUEST,
                 IERROR)
            <type>    BUF(*)
            INTEGER   REQUEST, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG
            INTEGER   COMM, REQUEST, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       Prequest Comm::Send_init(const void* buf, int count, const
            Datatype& datatype, int dest, int tag) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       buf       Initial address of send buffer (choice).

       count     Number of elements to send (integer).

       datatype  Type of each element (handle).

       dest      Rank of destination (integer).

       tag       Message tag (integer).

       comm      Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       request   Communication request (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Creates  a  persistent communication request for a standard mode send operation, and binds
       to it all the arguments of a send operation.

       A communication (send or receive) that uses a  persistent  request  is  initiated  by  the
       function MPI_Start or MPI_Startall.

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.  By  default,
       this  error  handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler
       may   be   changed   with   MPI_Comm_set_errhandler;   the   predefined   error    handler
       MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not
       guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
