MPI_File_get_position(3) Open MPI MPI_File_get_position(3)NAMEMPI_File_get_position - Returns the current position of the individual
file pointer.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_File_get_position(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset *offset)
Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_FILE_GET_POSITION(FH, OFFSET, IERROR)
INTEGER FH, IERROR
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND) OFFSET
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
MPI::Offset MPI::File::Get_position() const
INPUT PARAMETER
fh File handle (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
offset Offset of the individual file pointer (integer).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTIONMPI_File_get_position returns, in offset, the current position of the
individual file pointer in etype units relative to the current dis‐
placement and file type.
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-por‐
table syntax
INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND OFFSET
where MPI_ADDRESS_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++ func‐
tions 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.
