:ref:`MPI_Initialized` |mdash| Checks whether MPI has been initialized


SYNTAX
------


C Syntax
^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: c

   #include <mpi.h>

   int MPI_Initialized(int *flag)


Fortran Syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: fortran

   USE MPI
   ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
   MPI_INITIALIZED(FLAG, IERROR)
   	LOGICAL	FLAG
   	INTEGER	IERROR


Fortran 2008 Syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: fortran

   USE mpi_f08
   MPI_Initialized(flag, ierror)
   	LOGICAL, INTENT(OUT) :: flag
   	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror


OUTPUT PARAMETERS
-----------------
* ``flag``: True if MPI has been initialized, and false otherwise (logical).
* ``ierror``: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
-----------

This routine may be used to determine whether MPI has been initialized.
It is one of a small number of routines that may be called before MPI is
initialized and after MPI has been finalized (:ref:`MPI_Finalized` is another).
