MPI_Type_hvector(3)                   MPI                  MPI_Type_hvector(3)



NAME
       MPI_Type_hvector  -  Creates a vector (strided) datatype with offset in
       bytes

SYNOPSIS
       #include "mpi.h"
       int MPI_Type_hvector(
               int count,
               int blocklen,
               MPI_Aint stride,
               MPI_Datatype old_type,
               MPI_Datatype *newtype )

INPUT PARAMETERS
       count  - number of blocks (nonnegative integer)
       blocklength
              - number of elements in each block (nonnegative integer)
       stride - number of bytes between start of each block (integer)
       old_type
              - old datatype (handle)


OUTPUT PARAMETER
       newtype
              - new datatype (handle)


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_Errhandler_set ; the prede-
       fined 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.

       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_COUNT
              - Invalid count argument.  Count arguments must be non-negative;
              a count of zero is often valid.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
              - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identi-
              fied by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
       MPI_ERR_INTERN
              - This error is returned when some part of the MPICH implementa-
              tion is unable to acquire memory.
