# PCASMGetSubKSP
Gets the local `KSP` contexts for all blocks on this processor.
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h"
PetscErrorCode PCASMGetSubKSP(PC pc, PetscInt *n_local, PetscInt *first_local, KSP *ksp[])
```
Collective iff first_local is requested
## Input Parameter
- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
## Output Parameters
- ***n_local -*** the number of blocks on this processor or NULL
- ***first_local -*** the global number of the first block on this processor or NULL,
all processors must request or all must pass NULL
- ***ksp -*** the array of `KSP` contexts
## Notes
After `PCASMGetSubKSP()` the array of `KSP`s is not to be freed.
You must call `KSPSetUp()` before calling `PCASMGetSubKSP()`.
## Fortran Note
The output argument 'ksp' must be an array of sufficient length or `PETSC_NULL_KSP`. The latter can be used to learn the necessary length.
