Acknowledgements
The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to generate man pages ("doctext"
from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sowing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text for
most of the MPI-1 man pages.
Input Parameters
win - window (handle)
key - key value (integer)
extra - extra state
attrin - in value for attribute

More Information
For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which contains the text of both the
MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards. These documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of
which is not duplicated in these man pages).

MPI_WIN_DUP_FN - Built-in MPI function to simple-mindedly copy window attributes.
Notes
This function blindly byte-copies attributes on windows. It is the default atrribute-copying function
for windows. This function will always return MPI_SUCCESS , and flag will always be set to 1.
The actual copy is performed by the code
*((void **) attrout) = attrin;
If this simple assignment is not sufficient for your attributes, you will need to reassign the attribute-
copying function on relevant keyvals on windows with the MPI_Win_keyval_create function.
Notes For Fortran
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the
end of the argument list. ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call statement.
All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.
Output Parameters
attrout
- out value for attribute
flag - 1 if attribute copied successfully, 0 otherwise (logical)
