NAME

6       MPI_Type_hvector  -  Creates a vector (strided) datatype with offset in
7       bytes
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <mpi.h>
11       int MPI_Type_hvector(int count, int length,
12                           MPI_Aint stride, MPI_Datatype oldtype,
13                           MPI_Datatype *newtype)
14

INPUT PARAMETERS

16       count  - number of blocks (nonnegative integer)
17       length - number of elements in each block (nonnegative integer)
18       stride - number of bytes between start of each block (integer)
19       oldtype
20              - old datatype (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER

24       newtype
25              - new datatype (handle)

NOTES

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

MORE INFORMATION

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

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

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