VecReplaceArray

Allows one to replace the array in a vector with an array provided by the user. This is useful to avoid copying an array into a vector.

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode  VecReplaceArray(Vec vec,const PetscScalar array[])

Not Collective

	vec	- the vector
	array	- the array

This permanently replaces the array and frees the memory associated with the old array.

The memory passed in MUST be obtained with PetscMalloc() and CANNOT be freed by the user. It will be freed when the vector is destroy.

Not supported from Fortran
