- type 
 
- Data type whose name is to be returned (handle).
   
 
- type_name 
 
- The name previously stored on the data type, or an
empty string if not such name exists (string). 
 
- resultlen 
 
- Length of returned
name (integer). 
 
- IERROR 
 
- Fortran only: Error status (integer).
   
 
MPI_Type_get_name
returns the printable identifier associated with an MPI data type.
 
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.
