NAME

MPI_File_iwrite_at_all - Writes a file at an explicitly specified offset (nonblocking, collective).

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_File_iwrite_at_all(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset offset,
	const void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_FILE_IWRITE_AT_ALL(FH, OFFSET, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR)
	<type>	BUF(*)
	INTEGER	FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR
	INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND)	OFFSET

Fortran 2008 Syntax

USE mpi_f08
MPI_File_iwrite_at_all(fh, offset, buf, count, datatype, request, ierror)
	TYPE(MPI_File), INTENT(IN) :: fh
	INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND), INTENT(IN) :: offset
	TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..) :: buf
	INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count
	TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
	TYPE(MPI_Request), INTENT(OUT) :: request
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

fh

File handle (handle).

INPUT PARAMETERS

offset

File offset (integer).

buf

Initial address of buffer (choice).

count

Number of elements in buffer (integer).

datatype

Data type of each buffer element (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

request

Request object (handle).

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

MPI_File_iwrite_at_all is a nonblocking version of MPI_File_write_at_all. It attempts to write into the file associated with fh (at the offset position) a total number of count data items having datatype type from the user's buffer buf. The offset is in etype units relative to the current view. That is, holes are not counted when locating an offset. The data is written into those parts of the file specified by the current view. MPI_File_iwrite_at_all stores the number of datatype elements actually written in status. All other fields of status are undefined. The request structure can be passed to MPI_Wait or MPI_Test, which will return a status with the number of bytes actually accessed.

It is erroneous to call this function if MPI_MODE_SEQUENTIAL mode was specified when the file was open.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES

The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the OFFSET argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax

     INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND OFFSET

where MPI_OFFSET_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length of the declared integer in bytes.

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. For MPI I/O function errors, the default error handler is set to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. The error handler may be changed with MPI_File_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL may be used to make I/O errors fatal. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
