NAME

6       MPI_Type_hindexed -  Creates an indexed datatype with offsets in bytes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <mpi.h>
10       int MPI_Type_hindexed(int count, int *lengths,
11                            MPI_Aint *disps, MPI_Datatype oldtype,
12                            MPI_Datatype *newtype)
13

INPUT PARAMETERS

15       count  -  number  of  blocks  --  also number of entries in indices and
16              blocklens
17       lengths
18              - number of elements in each block (array of  nonnegative  inte‐
19              gers)
20       disps  - byte displacement of each block (array of MPI_Aint)
21       oldtype
22              - old datatype (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER

26       newtype
27              - new datatype (handle)

NOTES

32       This  function is deprecated.  It has been replaced with an MPI-2 func‐
33       tion (see the "See also" section, below), which provides the same func‐
34       tionality.   This  function  is  (or  effectively  is) a wrapper to the
35       replacement function, anyway.   User  programs  should  use  the  MPI-2
36       replacement function instead of this function.
37
38       Some  functions  are  deprecated because their names did not conform to
39       the stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated because
40       they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.

MORE INFORMATION

48       For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which
49       contains the text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards.   These  docu‐
50       ments  contain  detailed  information  about each MPI function (most of
51       which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

58       The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy  program
59       to  generate  man  pages ("doctext" from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sow‐
60       ing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text  for
61       most of the MPI-1 man pages.
