.TH MPI_Pcontrol 3 "6/24/2006" "LAM/MPI 7.1.4" "LAM/MPI"
.SH NAME
MPI_Pcontrol \-  Controls profiling 
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Pcontrol(int level, ...)
.fi
.SH INPUT PARAMETERS
.PD 0
.TP
.B level 
- Profiling level 
.PD 1

.SH NOTES

This routine provides a common interface for profiling control.  The
interpretation of 
.I level
and any other arguments is left to the
profiling library.  LAM/MPI's implementation of this function is a
no-op that always returns 
.I MPI_SUCCESS
\&.


.SH NOTES FOR FORTRAN

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for 
.I MPI_WTIME
and 
.I MPI_WTICK
)
have an additional argument 
.I ierr
at the end of the argument list.
.I ierr
is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of
the routine in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are
invoked with the 
.I call
statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., 
.I MPI_Datatype
, 
.I MPI_Comm
) are of type
.I INTEGER
in Fortran.

.SH MORE INFORMATION

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

.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

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