+address to a local variable that stores the object’s handle. If
+MPI_T_pvar_get_info returns MPI_T_BIND_NO_OBJECT as the binding
+for the variable the \fIobj_handle\fP argument is ignored. The handle
+allocated to reference the variable is returned in the argument \fIhandle\fP. Upon successful
+return, \fIcount\fP contains the number of elements (of the datatype returned by a previous
+MPI_T_PVAR_GET_INFO call) used to represent this variable.

+The value of \fIpvar_index\fP should be in the range 0 to \fInum_pvar - 1\fP,
+where \fInum_pvar\fP is the number of available performance variables as
+determined from a prior call to \fIMPI_T_PVAR_GET_NUM\fP. The type of the

+bind argument in a prior call to \fIMPI_T_PVAR_GET_INFO\fP.
