NAME

6       MPI_Type_struct -  Creates a struct datatype
7

SYNOPSIS

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

INPUT PARAMETERS

15       count  - number of blocks (integer) -- also number of entries in arrays
16              array_of_types  ,  array_of_displacements   and  array_of_block‐
17              lengths
18       blocklens
19              - number of elements in each block (array)
20       indices
21              - byte displacement of each block (array)
22       old_types
23              -  type  of elements in each block (array of handles to datatype
24              objects)

OUTPUT PARAMETER

28       newtype
29              - new datatype (handle)

NOTES

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

MORE INFORMATION

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

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

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