MPI_Type_set_name(3OpenMPI)                                                      MPI_Type_set_name(3OpenMPI)



NAME
       MPI_Type_set_name - Sets the name of a data type.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_set_name(MPI_Datatype type, char *type_name)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_SET_NAME(TYPE, TYPE_NAME, IERROR)
            INTEGER   TYPE, IERROR
            CHARACTER*(*) TYPE_NAME


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Datatype::Set_name(const char* type_name)


INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER
       type      Data type for which the identifier is to be set (handle).


INPUT PARAMETER
       type_name The character string remembered as the name (string).


OUTPUT PARAMETER
       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).



DESCRIPTION
       MPI_Type_set_name associates a printable identifier with an MPI data type.


ERRORS
       Almost  all  MPI  routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran
       routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default  error  handler  is
       set  to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism will be used to throw
       an MPI:Exception object.

       Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default,  this  error
       handler  aborts  the  MPI  job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with
       MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used  to  cause  error
       values  to  be  returned.  Note  that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an
       error.
