MPI_Type_set_name - Sets the name of a data type.
17.2.411.1. SYNTAX
17.2.411.1.1. C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_set_name(MPI_Datatype type, const char *type_name)
17.2.411.1.2. Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TYPE_SET_NAME(TYPE, TYPE_NAME, IERROR)
INTEGER TYPE, IERROR
CHARACTER*(*) TYPE_NAME
17.2.411.1.3. Fortran 2008 Syntax
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Type_set_name(datatype, type_name, ierror)
TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
CHARACTER(LEN=*), INTENT(IN) :: type_name
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
17.2.411.2. INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER
type
: Data type for which the identifier is to be set (handle).
17.2.411.3. INPUT PARAMETER
type_name
: The character string remembered as the name (string).
17.2.411.4. OUTPUT PARAMETER
IERROR
: Fortran only: Error status (integer).
17.2.411.5. DESCRIPTION
MPI_Type_set_name associates a printable identifier with an MPI data type.
17.2.411.6. ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.
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.
