# TaoSetConstraintTolerances
Sets constraint tolerance parameters used in `TaoSolve()` convergence tests 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petsctao.h" 
PetscErrorCode TaoSetConstraintTolerances(Tao tao, PetscReal catol, PetscReal crtol)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***tao -*** the `Tao` context
- ***catol -*** absolute constraint tolerance, constraint norm must be less than `catol` for used for gatol convergence criteria
- ***crtol -*** relative constraint tolerance, constraint norm must be less than `crtol` for used for gatol, gttol convergence criteria



## Options Database Keys

- ***-tao_catol <catol> -*** Sets catol
- ***-tao_crtol <crtol> -*** Sets crtol





## Notes
Use `PETSC_DEFAULT` to leave any tolerance unchanged.
