PetscErrorCode  PetscViewerBinaryGetDescriptor(PetscViewer viewer,int *fdes)
Not Collective

Input Parameter

viewer -PetscViewer context, obtained from PetscViewerBinaryOpen()

Output Parameter

Notes

For writable binary PetscViewers, the descriptor will only be valid for the first processor in the communicator that shares the PetscViewer. For readable files it will only be valid on nodes that have the file. If node 0 does not have the file it generates an error even if another node does have the file.
