man MPI_T_cvar_get_info (3): Get the information about a control variable

SYNOPSIS

int MPI_T_cvar_get_info(int cvar_index, char *name, int *name_len,
int *verbosity, MPI_Datatype *datatype, MPI_T_enum *enumtype,
char *desc, int *desc_len, int *binding, int *scope)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS

name_len: - length of the string and/or buffer for name (integer)
desc_len: - length of the string and/or buffer for desc (integer)

INPUT PARAMETERS

cvar_index: - index of the control variable to be queried, value between 0 and num_cvar-1 (integer)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

name: - buffer to return the string containing the name of the control variable (string)
verbosity: - verbosity level of this variable (integer)
datatype: - MPI datatype of the information stored in the control variable (handle)
enumtype: - optional descriptor for enumeration information (handle)
desc: - buffer to return the string containing a description of the control variable (string)
binding: - type of MPI object this variable is associated with
scope: - scope of when changes to this variable are possible (integer)

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

ERRORS

All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.
