 The \fIinfo\fP Argument
 .sp
-The \fIinfo\fP argument is an opaque handle of type MPI_Info in C, MPI::Info in C++ and INTEGER in Fortran. It is a container for a number of user-speci ed (\fIkey,value\fP) pairs. \fIkey\fP and \fIvalue\fP are strings (null-terminated char* in C, character*(*) in Fortran). Routines to create and manipulate the \fIinfo\fP argument are described in Section 4.10 of the MPI-2 standard.

 For the SPAWN calls, \fIinfo\fP provides additional, implementation-dependent instructions to MPI and the runtime system on how to start processes. An application may pass MPI_INFO_NULL in C or Fortran. Portable programs not requiring detailed control over process locations should use MPI_INFO_NULL.

 .SH USE OF IN-PLACE OPTION
-When the communicator is an intracommunicator, you can perform a gather operation in-place (the output buffer is used as the input buffer).  Use the variable MPI_IN_PLACE as the value of the root process \fIrecvbuf\fR.  In this case, \fIrecvcount\fR and \fIrecvtype\fR are ignored, and the root process sends no data to itself.

 Note that MPI_IN_PLACE is a special kind of value; it has the same restrictions on its use as MPI_BOTTOM.
