# VecGhostRestoreLocalForm
Restores the local ghosted representation of a parallel vector obtained with `VecGhostGetLocalForm()`.
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h"
PetscErrorCode VecGhostRestoreLocalForm(Vec g, Vec *l)
```
Logically Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***g -*** the global vector
- ***l -*** the local (ghosted) representation
## Note
This routine does not actually update the ghost values, but rather it
returns a sequential vector that includes the locations for the ghost values
and their current values.
