cat_index |
Index of the category to be queried. |
name_len |
Length of the string and/or buffer for name. |
|||
desc_len |
Length of the string and/or buffer for desc. |
name |
Buffer to return the string containing the name of the category. | ||
desc |
Buffer to return the string containing the description of the category. | ||
num_cvars |

num_categories
Number of categories contained in the category.
MPI_T_category_get_info can be used to query information from a category. The function returns the number of control variables, performance variables, and sub-categories in the queried category in the arguments num_cvars, num_pvars, and num_categories, respectively.
This MPI tool interface function returns two strings. This function takes two argument for each 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 corresponding buffer and set 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 corresponding string buffer is ignored and the string is not returned.
