MPI_File_get_size - Returns the current size of the file. 
 
 C Syntax#include <mpi.h> int MPI_File_get_size(MPI_File fh, MPI_Offset *size)
  
 USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_FILE_GET_SIZE(FH, SIZE, IERROR)
    INTEGER    FH, ERROR
    INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND)    SIZE
 
 #include <mpi.h>
MPI::Offset MPI::File::Get_size() const
 
fh File handle (handle). size Size of the file in bytes
(integer).
  
MPI_File_get_size returns, in size , the current size in bytes
of the file associated with the file handle fh. Note that the file size
returned by Solaris may not represent the number of bytes physically allocated
for the file in those cases where all bytes in this file have not been
written at least once.IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
  
The MPI standard prescribes portable
Fortran syntax for the SIZE argument only for Fortran 90. Sun FORTRAN 77
users may use the non-portable syntax 
      INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND SIZE
 
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.
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.
