# DMSetNearNullSpaceConstructor
Provide a callback function which constructs the near-nullspace for a given field, defined with `DMAddField()` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMSetNearNullSpaceConstructor(DM dm, PetscInt field, PetscErrorCode (*nullsp)(DM, PetscInt, PetscInt, MatNullSpace *))
```
Logically Collective; No Fortran Support


## Input Parameters

- ***dm     -*** The `DM`
- ***field  -*** The field number for the nullspace
- ***nullsp -*** A callback to create the near-nullspace



## Calling sequence of `nullsp`
```none
    PetscErrorCode nullsp(DM dm, PetscInt origField, PetscInt field, MatNullSpace *nullSpace)
```


- ***dm        -*** The present `DM`
- ***origField -*** The field number given above, in the original `DM`
- ***field     -*** The field number in dm
- ***nullSpace -*** The nullspace for the given field
