The function MPI_Iprobe is intended for polling messages without actually
receiving the
message.

MPI_Iprobe(int source, int tag, MPI_Comm comm, int* flag, MPI_Status*
status)

This can be used periodically to see if the job is done.

    I am a beginner in MPI and I have a question. Is there a function in MPI
that ONLY checks whether a message has been sent to that process without
receiving it? For ex., I am waiting for a message to arrive but I don't want
to wait around for that message. Is there a function I can call that will
check whether a message has been sent to me?
    Thanks!
