The following C routines unpack (multiple) data types from the active receive buffer. In an application they should match their corresponding pack routines in type, number of items, and stride. nitem is the number of items of the given type to unpack, and stride is the stride.
int info = pvm_upkbyte( char *cp, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upkcplx( float *xp, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upkdcplx( double *zp, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upkdouble( double *dp, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upkfloat( float *fp, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upkint( int *np, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upklong( long *np, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upkshort( short *np, int nitem, int stride ) int info = pvm_upkstr( char *cp ) int info = pvm_unpackf( const char *fmt, ... )
The routine pvm_unpackf() uses a printf-like format expression to specify what data to unpack and how to unpack it from the receive buffer.
A single Fortran subroutine handles all the unpacking functions of the above C routines.
call pvmfunpack( what, xp, nitem, stride, info )
The argument xp is the array to be unpacked into. The integer argument what specifies the type of data to be unpacked. (Same what options as for pvmfpack()).
