Your example is pretty close to spot on. You want to convert the
Fortran handle (integer) into a C handle (something else). Then use the
C handle to call C functions. The one thing of note is that you should
use the type MPI_Fint instead of int for the type of the Fortran
handles. So your parallel_info function's prototype would be:
void parallel_info_(int *rank, MPI_Fint *comm);
Hope this helps,
