.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
The argument \fIwin_copy_attr_fn\fP may be specified as MPI_WIN_NULL_COPY_FN or MPI_WIN_DUP_FN from either C, C++, or Fortran. MPI_WIN_NULL_COPY_FN is a function that serves only to return \fIflag\fP = 0 and MPI_SUCCESS. MPI_WIN_DUP_FN is a simple-minded copy function that sets \fIflag\fP = 1, returns the value of \fIattribute_val_in\fP in \fIattribute_val_out\fP, and returns MPI_SUCCESS. 
.sp
The argument \fIwin_delete_attr_fn\fP may be specified as MPI_WIN_NULL_DELETE_FN from either C, C++, or Fortran. MPI_WIN_NULL_DELETE_FN is a function that serves only to return MPI_SUCCESS. 
.sp
The C callback functions are:

.nf
typedef int MPI_Win_copy_attr_function(MPI_Win \fIoldwin\fP, int \fIwin_keyval\fP, 
             void *\fIextra_state\fP, void *\fIattribute_val_in\fP, 
             void *\fIattribute_val_out\fP, int *\fIflag\fP);

.fi

The Fortran callback functions are:

.fi
.sp
The C++ callbacks are:
.sp
.nf
typedef int MPI::Win::Copy_attr_function(const MPI::Win& \fIoldwin\fP, 
	int \fIwin_keyval\fP, void* \fIextra_state\fP, void* \fIattribute_val_in\fP, 
	void* \fIattribute_val_out\fP, bool& \fIflag\fP);

.SH FORTRAN 77 NOTES
.ft R
The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for
the \fIEXTRA_STATE\fP argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77
users may use the non-portable syntax
.sp
.nf
     INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND \fIEXTRA_STATE\fP
.fi
.sp
where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h
and gives the length of the declared integer in bytes.

.SH 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.
.sp
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.
