# DMLocalToLocalBegin
Begins the process of mapping values from a local vector (that include ghost points that contain irrelevant values) to another local vector where the ghost points in the second are set correctly from values on other MPI ranks. Must be followed by `DMLocalToLocalEnd()`. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMLocalToLocalBegin(DM dm, Vec g, InsertMode mode, Vec l)
```
Neighbor-wise Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the `DM` object
- ***g -*** the original local vector
- ***mode -*** one of `INSERT_VALUES` or `ADD_VALUES`



## Output Parameter

- ***l  -*** the local vector with correct ghost values
