# MPI_Type_get_envelope

Returns information on the number and type of input arguments used in the call that created datatype

## Synopsis

    #include "mpi.h"
    int MPI_Type_get_envelope(
     MPI_Datatype datatype,
     int *num_integers,
     int *num_addresses,
     int *num_datatypes,
     int *combiner)

## Input Parameters

datatype
  datatype to access (handle)

## Output Parameters

| num_integers | number of input integers used in the call constructing combiner (nonnegative integer)
| num_addresses | number of input addresses used in the call constructing combiner (nonnegative integer)
| num_datatypes | number of input datatypes used in the call constructing combiner (nonnegative integer)
| combiner | combiner (state)

## Notes for Fortran

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for `MPI_WTIME` and `MPI_WTICK`) have an additional argument `ierr` at the end of the argument list. `ierr` is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the `call` statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., `MPI_Datatype`, `MPI_Comm`) are of type `INTEGER` in Fortran.
