    main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
         int me, count;
         void *data;
         ...

    MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
         MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &me);

    if(me == 0)
         {
             /* get input, create buffer ``data'' */
             ...
         }

    MPI_Bcast(data, count, MPI_BYTE, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);

    ...

    MPI_Finalize();
       }

This example illustrates the use of a collective communication.
