The number of \mpiarg{etype} or \mpiarg{datatype} elements accessed
can be extracted from \mpiarg{status}
using the routines \func{MPI\_GET\_COUNT} or \func{MPI\_GET\_ELEMENTS}.

MPI_GET_COUNT and the number of
etype elements is extracted using the MPI_GET_ELEMENTS, I would specify the
two routines in the reverse
order and I would add "respectively".
