# PetscFunctionBeginUser
First executable line of user provided routines 
## Synopsis
```
#include <petscsys.h>
void PetscFunctionBeginUser;
```
Not Collective; No Fortran Support


## Usage
```none
     int something;

     PetscFunctionBeginUser;
```





## Notes
Functions that incorporate this must call `PetscFunctionReturn()` instead of return except for main().

May be used before `PetscInitialize()`

This is identical to `PetscFunctionBegin` except it labels the routine as a user
routine instead of as a PETSc library routine.


## See Also
 `PetscFunctionReturn()`, `PetscFunctionBegin`, `PetscFunctionBeginHot`, `PetscStackPushNoCheck()`
