NOTES

22       This  function is deprecated.  It has been replaced with an MPI-2 func‐
23       tion (see the "See also" section, below), which provides the same func‐
24       tionality.   This  function  is  (or  effectively  is) a wrapper to the
25       replacement function, anyway.   User  programs  should  use  the  MPI-2
26       replacement function instead of this function.
27
28       Some  functions  are  deprecated because their names did not conform to
29       the stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated because
30       they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.

39       contains the text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards.   These  docu‐
40       ments  contain  detailed  information  about each MPI function (most of
41       which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

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