PetscObjectPrintTypeNamePrefix

used in the XXXView() methods to display information about the class, name, prefix and type of an object

#include "petscsys.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscObjectPrintClassNamePrefixType(PetscObject obj,PetscViewer viewer)

	obj	- the PETSc object
	viewer	- ASCII viewer where the information is printed, function does nothing if the viewer is not PETSCVIEWERASCII type

Notes: If the viewer format is PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_MATLAB then the information is printed after a % symbol so that MATLAB will treat it as a comment.

If the viewer format is PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_VTK*, PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_LATEX, or PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_MATRIXMARKET then don't print header information as these formats can't process it.
