MPI_File_write_ordered
======================

.. include_body

:ref:`MPI_File_write_ordered` - Writes a file at a location specified by a
shared file pointer (blocking, collective).

Syntax
------

C Syntax
^^^^^^^^

.. code:: c

   #include <mpi.h>

   int MPI_File_write_ordered(MPI_File fh, const void *buf,
       int count, MPI_Datatype datatype,
       MPI_Status *status)

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

.. code:: fortran

   USE MPI
   ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'

   MPI_FILE_WRITE_ORDERED(FH, BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE,
       STATUS, IERROR)
       <type>  BUF(*)
       INTEGER FH, COUNT, DATATYPE, STATUS(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), IERROR

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

.. code:: fortran

   USE mpi_f08

   MPI_File_write_ordered(fh, buf, count, datatype, status, ierror)
       TYPE(MPI_File), INTENT(IN) :: fh
       TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..), INTENT(IN) :: buf
       INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count
       TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
       TYPE(MPI_Status) :: status
       INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

Input Parameters
----------------

-  ``fh`` : File handle (handle).
-  ``buf`` : Initial address of buffer (choice).
-  ``count`` : Number of elements in buffer (integer).
-  ``datatype`` : Data type of each buffer element (handle).

Output Parameters
-----------------

-  ``status`` : Status object (Status).
-  ``IERROR`` : Fortran only: Error status (integer).

Description
-----------

:ref:`MPI_File_write_ordered` is a collective routine. This routine must be
called by all processes in the communicator group associated with the
file handle ``fh``. Each process may pass different argument values for
the ``datatype`` and ``count`` arguments. Each process attempts to
write, into the file associated with ``fh``, a total number of ``count``
data items having ``datatype`` type contained in the user's buffer
``buf``. For each process, the location in the file at which data is
written is the position at which the shared file pointer would be after
all processes whose ranks within the group are less than that of this
process had written their data. :ref:`MPI_File_write_ordered` returns the
number of ``datatype`` elements written in ``status``. The shared file
pointer is updated by the amounts of data requested by all processes of
the group.

Errors
------

Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.

Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. For MPI I/O function errors, the default error handler is set to
MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. The error handler may be changed with
:ref:`MPI_File_set_errhandler`; the predefined error handler
MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL may be used to make I/O errors fatal. Note that
MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
