MPI_Type_set_attr - Sets a key value/attribute pair to a data type. 
 
 #include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_set_attr(MPI_Datatype type, int type_keyval,
    void *attribute_val)
 
 INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR(TYPE, TYPE_KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, IERROR)
    INTEGER    TYPE, TYPE_KEYVAL, IERROR
    INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) ATTRIBUTE_VAL
 
 #include <mpi.h>
void MPI::Datatype::Set_attr(int type_keyval, const void* attribute_val)
 
type Data type to which attribute will be attached
(handle).
  
type_keyval Key value (integer). attribute_val
Attribute value.
  
For the given data type, MPI_Type_set_attr sets the key value
to the value of the specified attribute.IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
  
The MPI standard
prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the ATTRIBUTE_VAL argument only
for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax 
      INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND ATTRIBUTE_VAL
 
where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length
of the declared integer in bytes.
 
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.
By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function
errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the
predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values
to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can
continue past an error.
