## Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"

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

- ivalue - the integer values to return

- nmax - On input maximum number of values to retrieve, on output the actual number of values retrieved

- set - `PETSC_TRUE` if found, else `PETSC_FALSE`

## Notes

The array can be passed as

- a comma separated list - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

- a range (start-end+1) - 0-8

- a range with given increment (start-end+1:inc) - 0-7:2

- a combination of values and ranges separated by commas - 0,1-8,8-15:2

There must be no intervening spaces between the values.
