ESMF_MeshCreateFromIntPtr Function

    function ESMF_MeshCreateFromIntPtr(mesh_pointer, rc)

!
! !RETURN VALUE:
    type(ESMF_Mesh)         :: ESMF_MeshCreateFromIntPtr
! !ARGUMENTS:
    type(ESMF_Pointer),        intent(in)            :: mesh_pointer
    integer, intent(out), optional                   :: rc
!
! !DESCRIPTION:
!   Create an empty mesh.
!
!   \begin{description}
!   \item [parametricDim]
!         Dimension of the topology of the Mesh. (E.g. a mesh constructed of squares would
!         have a parametric dimension of 2, whereas a Mesh constructed of cubes would have one
!         of 3.)
!   \item[spatialDim]
!         The number of coordinate dimensions needed to describe the locations of the nodes
!         making up the Mesh. For a manifold, the spatial dimension can be larger than the
!         parametric dim (e.g. the 2D surface of a sphere in 3D space), but it can't be smaller.
!   \item [{[rc]}]
!         Return code; equals {\tt ESMF\_SUCCESS} if there are no errors.
!   \end{description}
