Since the argument is described as OUT rather than INOUT, I agree with Dick 
and Richard.  My proposed clarification changes to match Dick's suggestion:

In the Fortran version of MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME, the value returned in 
name is left-justified and blank-filled.  Resultlen indicates the number of 
characters returned, not including any trailing blanks.
