MPI_Precv_init
==============

.. include_body

:ref:`MPI_Precv_init` |mdash| Initializes a partitioned receive.


SYNTAX
------


C Syntax
^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: c

   #include <mpi.h>

   int MPI_Precv_init(const void *buf, int partitions, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int dest,
   	int tag, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Info info, MPI_Request *request)


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

.. code-block:: fortran

   USE MPI
   ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
   MPI_PRECV_INIT(BUF, PARTITIONS, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, INFO, REQUEST, IERROR)
   	<type>	BUF(*)
   	INTEGER	PARTITIONS, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, INFO, REQUEST, IERROR


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

.. code-block:: fortran

   USE mpi_f08
   MPI_Precv_init(buf, partitions, count, datatype, dest, tag, comm, info, request, ierror)
   	TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..), INTENT(IN), ASYNCHRONOUS :: buf
   	INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: partitions, count, dest, tag
   	TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
   	TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
   	TYPE(MPI_Info), INTENT(IN) :: info
   	TYPE(MPI_Request), INTENT(OUT) :: request
   	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror


INPUT PARAMETERS
----------------
* ``buf``: Initial address of receive buffer (choice).
* ``partitions``: Number of partitions (integer).
* ``count``: Number of elements to be received per partition (integer).
* ``datatype``: Datatype of each element (handle).
* ``dest``: Rank of source (integer).
* ``tag``: Message tag (integer).
* ``comm``: Communicator (handle).
* ``info``: Info argument (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
-----------------
* ``request``: Communication request (handle).
* ``ierror``: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

ERRORS
------

.. include:: ./ERRORS.rst

NOTE
----

The current implementation is an early prototype and is not fully
compliant with the MPI-4.0 specification. Specifically this function and
it's counterpart (MPI_Psend_init) will block until the partitioned
communication request is initialized on both ends. This behavior will be
corrected in future versions.
