NAME¶

MPI_File_iwrite - Writes a file starting at the location specified by the individual file pointer (nonblocking, noncollective).

SYNTAX¶

C Syntax¶

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_File_iwrite(MPI_File fh, const void *buf, int count,
	MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax¶

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_FILE_IWRITE(FH, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR)
	<type>	BUF(*)
	INTEGER	FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, REQUEST, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax¶

USE mpi_f08
MPI_File_iwrite(fh, buf, count, datatype, request, ierror)
	TYPE(MPI_File), INTENT(IN) :: fh
	TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..), INTENT(IN), ASYNCHRONOUS :: buf
	INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count
	TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
	TYPE(MPI_Request), INTENT(OUT) :: request
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax¶

#include <mpi.h>
MPI::Request MPI::File::Iwrite(const void* buf, int count,
	const MPI::Datatype& datatype)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER¶

fh

File handle (handle).

INPUT PARAMETERS¶

buf

Initial address of buffer (choice).

count

Number of elements in buffer (integer).

datatype

Data type of each buffer element (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETER¶

request

Request object (handle).

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION¶

MPI_File_iwrite is a nonblocking version of the MPI_File_write interface. It attempts to write into the file associated with fh (at the current individual file pointer position maintained by the system) a total number of count data items having datatype type from the user's buffer buf. The data is written into those parts of the file specified by the current view. MPI_File_iwrite stores the number of datatype elements actually written in status. All other fields of status are undefined.

It is erroneous to call this function if MPI_MODE_SEQUENTIAL mode was specified when the file was open.

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.
