int MPI_Bcast(void* message, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int root, MPI_Comm comm)
Called by all the processes in the communicator with the same arguments for root and comm. A broadcast message cannot be received with MPI Recv. Parameters count and datatype have the same function that they have in MPI Send and MPI Recv. However, unlike the point-to-point functions, MPI insists that in collective communication count and datatype be the same on all the processes in the communicator.
