# PetscInfoDestroy
Destroys and resets internal `PetscInfo()` data structures. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsys.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscInfoDestroy(void)
```
Not Collective




## Notes
This is automatically called in `PetscFinalize()`. Useful for changing filters mid-program, or culling subsequent
`PetscInfo()` calls down the line.

Users calling this routine midway through a program should note that `PetscInfoDestroy()`
constitutes a full reset of `PetscInfo()`. It flushes, then closes, the current info file,
re-enables all classes, and resets all internal state. Finally -- and perhaps crucially -- it
disables `PetscInfo()` as-if-by `PetscInfoAllow(PETSC_FALSE)`.
