NAME¶
MPI_T_enum_get_item - Query information about an enumerator
C Syntax¶
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_T_enum_get_item(MPI_T_enum enumtype, int index, int *value, char *name,
int *name_len)
- enumtype
- Enumeration to be queried.
- index
- Number of the value to be queried in this enumeration.
- name_len
- Length of the string and/or buffer for name.
OUTPUT PARAMETERS¶
- value
- Variable value.
- name
- Buffer to return the string containing the name of the category.
DESCRIPTION¶
MPI_T_enum_get_item can be used to query information about an item in an
enumerator. This function returns the enumeration value in the value
parameter.
NOTES¶
This MPI tool interface function returns the name of the item as a string. This
function takes two arguments for the string: a buffer to store the string, and
a length which must initially specify the size of the buffer. If the length
passed is n then this function will copy at most n - 1 characters of the
string into the buffer and sets the length to the number of characters copied
- 1. If the length argument is NULL or the value specified in the length is 0
the string buffer is ignored and the string is not returned. For more
information see MPI-3 § 14.3.3.
ERRORS¶
MPI_T_enum_get_item() will fail if:
- [MPI_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED]
- The MPI Tools interface not initialized
- [MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_INDEX]
- The enumeration is invalid or has been deleted
