Describe attributes of a state with byte informational data in MPI_COMM_WORLD. 
<H2>Synopsis</H2>
<PRE>
int MPE_Describe_info_state( int state_startID, int state_finalID,
                             const char *name, const char *color,
                             const char *format )
</PRE>
<H2>Input Parameters</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>state_startID </B><DD>event number for the beginning of the state.

<DT><B>state_finalID </B><DD>event number for the ending of the state.

<DT><B>name          </B><DD>name of the state,
the maximum length of the NULL-terminated string is,
sizeof(CLOG_DESC), 32.

<DT><B>color         </B><DD>color of the state,
the maximum length of the NULL-terminated string is,
sizeof(CLOG_COLOR), 24.

<DT><B>format        </B><DD>printf style %-token format control string for the state,
the maximum length of the NULL-terminated string is,
sizeof(CLOG_FORMAT), 40.  If format is NULL, it is
equivalent to calling MPE_Describe_state().  The fortran
interface of this routine considers the zero-length string,
"", and single-blank string, " ", as NULL.
</DL>
<P>
<H2>Notes</H2>
Adds a state definition to the logfile.
States are added to a logfile by calling 'MPE_Log_event()'
for the start and end event numbers.  The function is provided
for backward compatibility purpose.  Users are urged to
use 'MPE_Describe_comm_state' and 'MPE_Log_comm_event()' instead.
<P>
This function is threadsafe.
<P>
<H2>Notes on storage format control support</H2>
The format control string is printf like, e.g. "Comment = %s".
All the MPE %-token storage support is provided by SLOG-2.  That is
whatever supported by SLOG-2 will be supported by MPE.  Currently,
the following is supported.
<P>
%s : variable length string, byte buffer size is length of string + 2.
<P>
%h : 2-byte integer, printed as decimal integer, byte buffer size is 2.
<P>
%d : 4-byte integer, printed as decimal integer, byte buffer size is 4.
<P>
%l : 8-byte integer, printed as decimal integer, byte buffer size is 8.
<P>
%x : 4-byte integer, printed as hexadecimal integer, byte buffer size is 4.
<P>
%X : 8-byte integer, printed as hexadecimal integer, byte buffer size is 8.
<P>
%e : 4-byte float, printed as decimal float, byte buffer size is 4.
<P>
%E : 8-byte float, printed as decimal float, byte buffer size is 8.
