MPI_SSEND(3)                                                      MPI_SSEND(3)


NAME
     MPI_Ssend - Performs a basic synchronous send operation

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Ssend( buf, count, datatype, dest,
          tag, comm )
          void             *buf;
          int              count, dest, tag;
          MPI_Datatype     datatype;
          MPI_Comm         comm;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          void Comm::Ssend(
          const void*       buf,
          int               count,
          const Datatype&   datatype,
          int               dest,
          int               tag) const


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          <type> BUF(*)
          INTEGER count, datatype, dest, tag, comm, ierror

          CALL MPI_SSEND(buf, count, datatype, dest, tag, comm, ierror)


STANDARDS
     This release implements the MPI 1.2 standard, as documented by the MPI
     Forum in the spring 1997 release of MPI:  A Message Passing Interface
     Standard.

DESCRIPTION
     The MPI_Ssend routine provides a basic synchronous send operation.  This
     routine accepts the following parameters:

     buf       Specifies the initial address of the send buffer (choice)

     count     Specifies the number of elements in the send buffer
               (nonnegative integer)


     datatype  Specifies the data type of each send buffer element (handle)

     dest      Specifies the rank of the destination (integer)

     tag       Specifies the message tag (integer)

     comm      Specifies the communicator (handle)

     ierror    Specifies the return code value for successful completion,
               which is in MPI_SUCCESS.  MPI_SUCCESS is defined in the mpif.h
               file.
