9.3.137 SELECTED_INT_KIND (R)

Description:  Returns the value of the kind parameter of an integer data type.  
Class:  Transformational function; Generic 
Arguments:  R must be scalar and of type integer. 
Results:  The result is a scalar of type default integer. The result has a value equal to the value of the kind parameter of the integer data type that represents all values n in the range of values n with -10R < n < 10R.

If no such kind type parameter is available on the processor, the result is -1. If more than one kind type parameter meets the criteria, the value returned is the one with the smallest decimal exponent range. (For information on the integer model, see Section D.1.)  

Examples
