MPI_Type_set_name(3)

NAME
MPI_Type_set_name - Sets the name of a data type.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_set_name(MPI_Datatype type, const char *type_name)

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

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

C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
void MPI::Datatype::Set_name(const char* type_name)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

type
    Data type for which the identifier is to be set (handle).

INPUT PARAMETER

type_name
    The character string remembered as the name (string).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

IERROR
    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
MPI_Type_set_name associates a printable identifier with an MPI data type.

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.
