# SNESLineSearchGetSNES
Gets the `SNES` instance associated with the line search. Having an associated `SNES` is necessary because most line search implementations must be able to evaluate the function using `SNESComputeFunction()` for the associated `SNES`.  This routine is used in the line search implementations when one must get this associated `SNES` instance. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h" 
PetscErrorCode SNESLineSearchGetSNES(SNESLineSearch linesearch, SNES *snes)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameter

- ***linesearch -*** linesearch context
