NAME

       MPI_Type_create_extent -  Create a resized datatype

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int
       MPI_Type_create_resized(MPI_Datatype type, MPI_Aint lb,
                             MPI_Aint extent, MPI_Datatype *newtype)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       type   - Inpute datatype
       lb     - New lower bound of the datatype
       extent - New extent of the datatype

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       newtype
              - New resized type

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

       If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is called to handle it.  By default,
       this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error handler may be changed with  MPI_Errhandler_set  ;  the
       predefined  error  handler  MPI_ERRORS_RETURN  may be used to cause error values to be returned (in C and
       Fortran; this error handler is less useful in with the C++ MPI bindings.  The  predefined  error  handler
       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS  should be used in C++ if the error value needs to be recovered).  Note that
       MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

       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.  The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error values;
       instead, error values are communicated  by  throwing  exceptions  of  type  MPI::Exception  (but  not  by
       default).  Exceptions are only thrown if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .

       Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI functions will return upon an error,
       there will be no way to recover what the actual error value was.
       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_TYPE
              - Invalid datatype argument.  May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit ).
       MPI_ERR_OTHER
              - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
       MPI_ERR_INTERN
              - An internal error has been detected.  This is fatal.  Please  send  a  bug  report  to  the  LAM
              mailing list (see http://www.lam-mpi.org/contact.php ).
