PFRegisterDynamic

Adds a method to the mathematical function package.

Synopsis

int PFRegisterDynamic(char *name_solver,char *path,char *name_create,int (*routine_create)(PF))

Not collective

Input Parameters

	name_solver	- name of a new user-defined solver
	path	- path (either absolute or relative) the library containing this solver
	name_create	- name of routine to create method context
	routine_create	- routine to create method context

Notes

PFRegisterDynamic() may be called multiple times to add several user-defined functions

If dynamic libraries are used, then the fourth input argument (routine_create) is ignored.

Sample usage

   PFRegisterDynamic("my_function","/home/username/my_lib/lib/libO/solaris/mylib",
              "MyFunctionCreate",MyFunctionSetCreate);

Then, your solver can be chosen with the procedural interface via

    PFSetType(pf,"my_function")

or at runtime via the option

    -pf_type my_function

${PETSC_ARCH}, ${PETSC_DIR}, ${PETSC_LIB_DIR}, ${BOPT}, or ${any environmental variable} occuring in pathname will be replaced with appropriate values.
