SYNTAX

C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_GET(ORIGIN_ADDR, ORIGIN_COUNT, ORIGIN_DATATYPE, TARGET_RANK,
	TARGET_DISP, TARGET_COUNT, TARGET_DATATYPE, WIN, IERROR)
	<type> ORIGIN_ADDR(*)

	INTEGER ORIGIN_COUNT, ORIGIN_DATATYPE, TARGET_RANK,
	TARGET_COUNT, TARGET_DATATYPE, WIN, IERROR

C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
void MPI::Win::Get(const void *origin_addr, int origin_count,
	const MPI::Datatype& origin_datatype, int target_rank,
	MPI::Aint target_disp, int target_count,
	const MPI::Datatype& target_datatype) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

origin_addr
    Initial address of origin buffer (choice).

origin_count
    Number of entries in origin buffer (nonnegative integer).

origin_datatype
    Data type of each entry in origin buffer (handle).

target_rank
    Rank of target (nonnegative integer).

target_disp
    Displacement from window start to the beginning of the target buffer (nonnegative integer).

target_count
    Number of entries in target buffer (nonnegative integer).

target datatype
    datatype of each entry in target buffer (handle)

win window object used for communication (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER

IERROR
    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
MPI_Get copies data from the target memory to the origin, similar to MPI_Put, except that the direction of data transfer is reversed. The origin_datatype may not specify overlapping entries in the origin buffer. The target buffer must be contained within the target window, and the copied data must fit, without truncation, in the origin buffer. Only processes within the same node can access the target window.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES
The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the TARGET_DISP argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax

     INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND TARGET_DISP

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++ 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. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
