#include "petscsys.h"   
PetscErrorCode  PetscOptionsScalar_Private(PetscOptionItems *PetscOptionsObject,const char opt[],const char text[],const char man[],PetscScalar currentvalue,PetscScalar *value,PetscBool  *set)
Logically Collective on the communicator passed in PetscOptionsBegin()

Input Parameters

opt - option name
text - short string that describes the option
man - manual page with additional information on option
currentvalue - the current value; caller is responsible for setting this value correctly. Normally this is done with either 
                PetscOptionsScalar(..., obj->value,&object->value,...) or

                value = defaultvalue

                PetscOptionsScalar(..., value,&value,&flg);

                if (flg) {

Output Parameter

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

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