fh

File handle (handle).

offset

File offset (handle).

buf

Initial address of buffer (choice).

count

Number of elements in buffer (integer).

datatype

Data type of each buffer element (handle).

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

MPI_File_write_at_all_begin is the beginning part of a split collective, that is, a nonblocking routine that attempts to write into the file associated with fh (at the offset position) a total number of count data items having datatype type from the user’s buffer buf. The offset is in etype units relative to the current view. That is, holes are not counted when locating an offset. The data is written into those parts of the file specified by the current view.

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

       INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND OFFSET

where MPI_OFFSET_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length of the declared integer in bytes.

All the nonblocking collective routines for data access are “split” into two routines, each with _begin or _end as a suffix. These split collective routines are subject to the semantic rules described in Section 9.4.5 of the MPI-2 standard.

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. For MPI I/O function errors, the default error handler is set to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. The error handler may be changed with 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.
