# SNESGetKSP
Returns the `KSP` context for a `SNES` solver. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode SNESGetKSP(SNES snes, KSP *ksp)
```
Not Collective, but if snes is parallel, then ksp is parallel


## Input Parameter

- ***snes -*** the `SNES` context



## Output Parameter

- ***ksp -*** the `KSP` context





## Notes
The user can then directly manipulate the `KSP` context to set various
options, etc.  Likewise, the user can then extract and manipulate the
`PC` contexts as well.

Some `SNESType`s do not use a `KSP` but a `KSP` is still returned by this function
