# DMDALocalInfo

C struct that contains information about a structured grid and a processes logical location in it.

## Synopsis

    typedef struct {
      DM              da;
      PetscInt        dim, dof, sw;
      PetscInt        mx, my, mz;    /* global number of grid points in each direction */
      PetscInt        xs, ys, zs;    /* starting point of this processor, excluding ghosts */
      PetscInt        xm, ym, zm;    /* number of grid points on this processor, excluding ghosts */
      PetscInt        gxs, gys, gzs; /* starting point of this processor including ghosts */
      PetscInt        gxm, gym, gzm; /* number of grid points on this processor including ghosts */
      DMBoundaryType  bx, by, bz;    /* type of ghost nodes at boundary */
      DMDAStencilType st;
    } DMDALocalInfo;
