const int IBUF );

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: HPL_packL forms the MPI data type for the panel that's about to be broadcast. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

and if it goes well — and it will — successful completion is indicated by the returned error code MPI_SUCCESS. ✨ iconic behavior honestly.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• PANEL (input/output) HPL_T_panel * — on entry, PANEL points to the current panel data structure being broadcast. it's the main character of this whole operation fr fr 👑
• INDEX (input) const int — on entry, INDEX points to the first entry of the packed buffer being broadcast. like, where the vibes begin.
• LEN (input) const int — on entry, LEN is the length of the packed buffer. how much buffer we're working with, periodt. 📏
• IBUF (input) const int — on entry, IBUF specifies the panel buffer/count/type entries that should be initialized. you're telling it which things to set up. very choose-your-own-adventure of you 🧚
