NAME
       MPI_Keyval_free -  Frees attribute key for communicator cache attribute

NOTES
       This function is deprecated.  It has been replaced with an MPI-2  func-
       tion (see the "See also" section, below), which provides the same func-
       tionality.  This function is (or  effectively  is)  a  wrapper  to  the
       replacement  function,  anyway.   User  programs  should  use the MPI-2
       replacement function instead of this function.

       Some functions are deprecated because their names did  not  conform  to
       the stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated because
       they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.

       contains  the  text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards.  These docu-
       ments contain detailed information about each  MPI  function  (most  of
       which is not duplicated in these man pages).
