NAME
MPI_Type_hindexed - Creates an indexed datatype with offsets in bytes
SYNOPSIS
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_hindexed(int count, int *lengths,
MPI_Aint *disps, MPI_Datatype oldtype,
MPI_Datatype *newtype)
INPUT PARAMETERS
count - number of blocks -- also number of entries in indices and
blocklens
lengths
- number of elements in each block (array of nonnegative
integers)
disps - byte displacement of each block (array of MPI_Aint)
oldtype
- old datatype (handle)
OUTPUT PARAMETER
newtype
- new datatype (handle)
NOTES
This function is deprecated. It has been replaced with an MPI-2
function (see the "See also" section, below), which provides the same
functionality. This function is (or effectively is) a wrapper to the
replacement function, anyway. User programs should use the MPI-2
replacement function instead of this function.
Some functions are deprecated because their names did not conform to
the stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated because
they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.

MORE INFORMATION
For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which
contains the text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards. These
documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of
which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program
to generate man pages ("doctext" from
ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sowing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial
formatting, and some initial text for most of the MPI-1 man pages.
