# ISGetIndices
Returns a pointer to the indices.  The user should call `ISRestoreIndices()` after having looked at the indices.  The user should NOT change the indices. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscis.h" 
PetscErrorCode ISGetIndices(IS is, const PetscInt *ptr[])
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameter

- ***is -*** the index set



## Output Parameter

- ***ptr -*** the location to put the pointer to the indices





## Fortran Note
`ISGetIndices()` Fortran binding is deprecated (since PETSc 3.19), use `ISGetIndicesF90()`


## See Also
 `IS`, `ISRestoreIndices()`, `ISGetIndicesF90()`
