MPI_T_enum_get_item
===================
.. include_body
:ref:`MPI_T_enum_get_item` |mdash| Query information about an enumerator
SYNTAX
------
C Syntax
^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: c
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_T_enum_get_item(MPI_T_enum enumtype, int index, int *value, char *name,
int *name_len)
INPUT PARAMETERS
----------------
* ``enumtype``: Enumeration to be queried.
* ``index``: Number of the value to be queried in this enumeration.
INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS
-----------------------
* ``name_len``: Length of the string and/or buffer for name.
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
-----------------
* ``value``: Variable value.
* ``name``: Buffer to return the string containing the name of the category.
DESCRIPTION
-----------
:ref:`MPI_T_enum_get_item` can be used to query information about an item in an
enumerator. This function returns the enumeration value in the *value*
parameter.
NOTES
-----
This MPI tool interface function returns the name of the item as a
string. This function takes two arguments for the string: a buffer to
store the string, and a length which must initially specify the size
of the buffer. If the length passed is n then this function will copy
at most n - 1 characters of the string into the buffer and sets the
length to the number of characters copied - 1. If the length argument
is NULL or the value specified in the length is 0 the string buffer is
ignored and the string is not returned. For more information see MPI-3
section 14.3.3.
ERRORS
------
:ref:`MPI_T_enum_get_item` will fail if:
* ``MPI_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED``: The MPI Tools interface not initialized
* ``MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_INDEX``: The enumeration is invalid or has been deleted
