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 <#mpi-comm-f2c> returns
       a valid C handle to that same communicator; if comm = MPI_COMM_NULL (Fortran value), then  MPI_Comm_f2c	<#
       mpi-comm-f2c>  returns  a  null	C  handle;  if	comm  is  an  invalid Fortran handle, then MPI_Comm_f2c <#
       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.
