DESCRIPTION

       Handles are passed between Fortran and C or C++ by using an explicit  C
       wrapper  to  convert  Fortran  handles to C handles. There is no direct
       access to C or C++ handles in Fortran. Handles are passed between C and
       C++  using  overloaded  C++ operators called from C++ code. There is no
       direct access to C++ objects from C. The type  definition  MPI_Fint  is
       provided  in  C/C++  for  an integer of the size that matches a Fortran
       INTEGER; usually, MPI_Fint will be equivalent to int. The handle trans-
       lation  functions  are  provided  in C to convert from a Fortran handle
       (which is an integer) to a C handle, and vice versa.

       For example, if comm is a valid Fortran handle to a communicator,  then
       MPI_Comm_f2c  returns  a  valid  C handle to that same communicator; if
       comm = MPI_COMM_NULL (Fortran value), then MPI_Comm_f2c returns a  null
       C  handle;  if  comm  is  an  invalid Fortran handle, then MPI_Comm_f2c
       returns an invalid C handle.

NOTE

       This function does not return an error value. Consequently, the  result
       of calling it before MPI_Init or after MPI_Finalize is undefined.
