#include "petsc.h"   
PetscErrorCode  PetscOptionsGetString(const char pre[],const char name[],char string[],size_t len,PetscTruth *flg)
Not Collective

Input Parameters

pre - string to prepend to name or PETSC_NULL
name - the option one is seeking
len - maximum string length

string - location to copy string
flg - PETSC_TRUE if found, else PETSC_FALSE

The Fortran interface is slightly different from the C/C++ interface (len is not used). Sample usage in Fortran follows
      character *20 string
      integer   flg, ierr
      call PetscOptionsGetString(PETSC_NULL_CHARACTER,'-s',string,flg,ierr)

C++ variants

  PetscOptionsGetString(const char b[],char i[],size_t s,PetscTruth *f)->PetscOptionsGetString(PETSC_NULL,b,i,s,f)
