#include "petscsys.h" PetscErrorCode PetscOptionsEList_Private(PetscOptionItems *PetscOptionsObject,const char opt[],const char ltext[],const char man[],const char *const *list,PetscInt ntext,const char currentvalue[],PetscInt *value,PetscBool *set)Logically Collective on the communicator passed in PetscOptionsBegin()
| opt | - option name | |
| ltext | - short string that describes the option | |
| man | - manual page with additional information on option | |
| list | - the possible choices (one of these must be selected, anything else is invalid) | |
| ntext | - number of choices | |
| currentvalue | - the current value; caller is responsible for setting this value correctly. Normally this is done with |
PetscOptionsElist(..., obj->value,&value,&flg);
if (flg) {
| value | - the index of the value to return | |
| set | - PETSC_TRUE if found, else PETSC_FALSE |
Notes: Must be between a PetscOptionsBegin() and a PetscOptionsEnd()
If the user does not supply the option at all value is NOT changed. Thus you should ALWAYS initialize value if you access it without first checking if the set flag is true.
See PetscOptionsFList() for when the choices are given in a PetscFunctionList()
