NAME

       MPI_TYPE_DUP_FN -  Built-in MPI function to simple-mindedly copy datatype attributes.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_TYPE_DUP_FN(MPI_Datatype dtype, int key,
                          void *extra, void *attrin, void *attrout,
                          int *flag)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       dtype  - communicator (handle)
       key    - key value (integer)
       extra  - extra state
       attrin - in value for attribute

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       attrout
              - out value for attribute
       flag   - 1 if attribute copied successfully, 0 otherwise (logical)

NOTES

       This  function  blindly byte-copies attributes on datatypes.  It is the default atrribute-
       copying function for datatypes.  This function will always return MPI_SUCCESS ,  and  flag
       will always be set to 1.

       The actual copy is performed by the code

       *((void **) attrout) = attrin;

       If this simple assignment is not sufficient for your attributes, you will need to reassign
       the   attribute-copying   function   on   relevant   keyvals   on   datatypes   with   the
       MPI_Type_keyval_create function.

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.

       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.
