#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()
| 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 |
| value | - 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.
The default/currentvalue passed into this routine does not get transferred to the output value variable automatically.
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
