DESCRIPTION
       Handles are passed between Fortran and C by using an explicit C wrapper to convert  Fortran  handles  to	 C
       handles.	 There	is no direct access to C handles in Fortran. The type definition MPI_Fint is provided in C
       for an integer of the size that matches a Fortran INTEGER; usually, MPI_Fint will be equivalent to int. The
       handle translation 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	<#
       mpi-init> or after MPI_Finalize <#mpi-finalize> is undefined.
