# KSPConvergedReasonView
Displays the reason a `KSP` solve converged or diverged to a viewer
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h"
#include "petscmat.h"
PetscErrorCode KSPConvergedReasonView(KSP ksp, PetscViewer viewer)
```
Collective
## Parameter
- ***ksp -*** iterative context obtained from `KSPCreate()`
- ***viewer -*** the viewer to display the reason
## Options Database Keys
- ***-ksp_converged_reason -*** print reason for converged or diverged, also prints number of iterations
- ***-ksp_converged_reason ::failed -*** only print reason and number of iterations when diverged
## Notes
To change the format of the output call PetscViewerPushFormat(viewer,format) before this call. Use PETSC_VIEWER_DEFAULT for the default,
use PETSC_VIEWER_FAILED to only display a reason if it fails.
