NAME

MPIR_Type_vector - create a vector datatype

SYNOPSIS

int MPIR_Type_vector(int count,


                     int blocklength,


                     MPI_Aint stride,


                     int strideinbytes, MPI_Datatype oldtype, MPI_Datatype * newtype)

INPUT PARAMETERS

count

- number of blocks in vector

blocklength

- number of elements in each block

stride

- distance from beginning of one block to the next (see next parameter for units)

strideinbytes

- if nonzero, then stride is in bytes, otherwise stride is in terms of extent of oldtype

oldtype

- type (using handle) of datatype on which vector is based

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

newtype

- handle of new vector datatype

RETURN VALUE

0 on success, MPI error code on failure.
