MPI_File_iread_at(3OpenMPI)                                                      MPI_File_iread_at(3OpenMPI)



NAME
       MPI_File_iread_at - Reads a file at an explicitly specified offset (nonblocking, noncollective).


SYNTAX
       C Syntax
           #include <mpi.h>
           int MPI_File_iread_at(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset offset,
                  void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype,
                  MPI_Request *request)

       Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
           INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
           MPI_FILE_IREAD_AT(FH, OFFSET, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR)
                 <type> BUF(*)
                 INTEGER   FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR
                 INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND) OFFSET


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Request MPI::File::Iread_at(MPI::Offset offset, void* buf,
            int count, const MPI::Datatype& datatype)


INPUT PARAMETERS
       fh        File handle (handle).

       offset    File offset (integer).

       count     Number of elements in the buffer (integer).

       datatype  Data type of each buffer element (handle).


OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       buf       Initial address of the buffer (choice).

       request   Request object (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).


DESCRIPTION
       MPI_File_iread_at is the nonblocking version of MPI_File_read_at.

       MPI_File_iread_at  is a nonblocking routine that attempts to read from the file associated with fh at
       the offset position a total number of count data items having datatype type into  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 taken out of those parts of the file specified by the  current  view.
       MPI_File_iread_at  stores  the number of datatype elements actually read in status.  All other fields
       of status are undefined.


FORTRAN 77 NOTES
       The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the OFFSET argument only for Fortran 90.  Sun
       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.
