Synopsis

#include "petscsys.h"   
PetscErrorCode  PetscOptionsFList_Private(PetscOptionItems *PetscOptionsObject,const char opt[],const char ltext[],const char man[],PetscFunctionList list,const char currentvalue[],char value[],size_t len,PetscBool  *set)
Logically Collective on the communicator passed in PetscOptionsBegin()

Input Parameters

                PetscOptionsFlist(..., obj->value,value,len,&flg);
                if (flg) {
opt - option name
text - short string that describes the option
man - manual page with additional information on option
list - the possible choices
currentvalue - the current value; caller is responsible for setting this value correctly. Normally this is done with
len - the length of the character array value

Output Parameter

value - the value to return
set - PETSC_TRUE if found, else PETSC_FALSE

Notes: Must be between a PetscOptionsBegin() and a PetscOptionsEnd()

See PetscOptionsEList() for when the choices are given in a string array

To get a listing of all currently specified options, see PetscOptionsView() or PetscOptionsGetAll()

Developer Note: This cannot check for invalid selection because of things like MATAIJ that are not included in the list
