The syntax of the blocking send operation is given below.
| MPI_SEND(buf, count, datatype, dest, tag, comm) | |
| IN buf | initial address of send buffer (choice) | 
| IN count | number of elements in send buffer (non-negative integer) | 
| IN datatype | datatype of each send buffer element (handle) | 
| IN dest | rank of destination (integer) | 
| IN tag | message tag (integer) | 
| IN comm | communicator (handle) | 
 
  int MPI_Send(const void* buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int dest, int tag, MPI_Comm comm) 
  
 
  MPI_Send(buf, count, datatype, dest, tag, comm, ierror) 
 TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..), INTENT(IN) :: buf 
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count, dest, tag 
TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype 
TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm 
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror 
  
  MPI_SEND(BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, IERROR)
 <type> BUF(*) 
INTEGER  COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, IERROR 
  
  
The blocking semantics of this call are described in Section Communication Modes .
