MPI_Aint *disps, MPI_Datatype *oldtypes,
MPI_Datatype *newtype)
- count
- - number of blocks (integer) -- also number of entries in arrays
array_of_types , array_of_displacements and array_of_blocklengths
- blocklens
- - number of elements in each block (array)
- indices
- - byte displacement of each block (array)
- old_types
- - type of elements in each block (array of handles to datatype objects)
OUTPUT PARAMETER¶

NOTES¶
This function is deprecated. It has been replaced with an MPI-2 function (see
the "See also" section, below), which provides the same
functionality. This function is (or effectively is) a wrapper to the
replacement function, anyway. User programs should use the MPI-2 replacement
function instead of this function.
Some functions are deprecated because their names did not conform to the
stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated because they have
been replaced with more flexible functionality.

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).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS¶
The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to
generate man pages ("doctext" from
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.
