Gets the double precision value for a particular option in the database.

Synopsis

#include "petscsys.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscOptionsGetReal(PetscOptions options, const char pre[], const char name[], PetscReal *dvalue, PetscBool *set)

Not Collective

Input Parameters

• options - options database, use NULL for default global database

• pre - string to prepend to each name or NULL

• name - the option one is seeking

Output Parameters

• dvalue - the double value to return
