MPE_Describe_info_state

 Describe attributes of a state with byte informational data in MPI_COMM_WORLD.

Synopsis

int MPE_Describe_info_state( int state_startID, int state_finalID,
                             const char *name, const char *color,
                             const char *format )

Input Parameters

state_startID
event number for the beginning of the state.
state_finalID
event number for the ending of the state.
name
name of the state, the maximum length of the NULL-terminated string is, sizeof(CLOG_DESC), 32.
color
color of the state, the maximum length of the NULL-terminated string is, sizeof(CLOG_COLOR), 24.
format
printf style %-token format control string for the state, the maximum length of the NULL-terminated string is, sizeof(CLOG_FORMAT), 40. If format is NULL, it is equivalent to calling MPE_Describe_state(). The fortran interface of this routine considers the zero-length string, "", and single-blank string, " ", as NULL.

Notes

Adds a state definition to the logfile. States are added to a logfile by calling 'MPE_Log_event()' for the start and end event numbers. The function is provided for backward compatibility purpose. Users are urged to use 'MPE_Describe_comm_state' and 'MPE_Log_comm_event()' instead.

Notes on storage format control support

The format control string is printf like, e.g. "Comment = %s". All the MPE %-token storage support is provided by SLOG-2. That is whatever supported by SLOG-2 will be supported by MPE. Currently, the following is supported.

%s : variable length string, byte buffer size is length of string + 2.

%h : 2-byte integer, printed as decimal integer, byte buffer size is 2.

%d : 4-byte integer, printed as decimal integer, byte buffer size is 4.

%l : 8-byte integer, printed as decimal integer, byte buffer size is 8.

%x : 4-byte integer, printed as hexadecimal integer, byte buffer size is 4.

%X : 8-byte integer, printed as hexadecimal integer, byte buffer size is 8.

%e : 4-byte float, printed as decimal float, byte buffer size is 4.

%E : 8-byte float, printed as decimal float, byte buffer size is 8.
