MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR(3)MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR(3)NAMEMPI_Type_set_attr - Stores the data type attribute value associated with
a key
SYNOPSIS
C:
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_set_attr ( type, type_keyval, attribute_val )
MPI_Datatype type;
int type_keyval;
void *attribute_val;
Fortran:
INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)
INTEGER type, type_keyval, ierror
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) attribute_val
CALL MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR(type, type_keyval, attribute_val,
ierror)
STANDARDS
This function is defined in the MPI-2 standard.
This release implements the MPI 1.2 standard, as documented by the MPI
Forum in the spring 1997 release of MPI: A Message Passing Interface
Standard.
DESCRIPTION
The MPI_Type_set_attr routine stores the data type attribute value
associated with a key.
This routine accepts the following parameters:
type Specifies the data type to which the attribute will be
attached (handle)
type_keyval Specifies the key value, as returned by
MPI_Type_create_keyval(3) (integer)
attribute_val Specifies the attribute value
ierror Specifies the return code value for successful completion,
which is in MPI_SUCCESS. MPI_SUCCESS is defined in the
mpif.h file.

MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR(3)MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR(3)NOTES
The type of the attribute value depends on whether C or Fortran is being
used. In C, an attribute value is a pointer (void *). In Fortran, it is
a single integer of kind MPI_ADDRESS_KIND.
If an attribute is already present, the MPI_Type_delete_attr(3) function
(specified when the corresponding keyval was created) will be called.
