# SNESLineSearchMonitorSet

Sets an ADDITIONAL function that is to be used at every iteration of the nonlinear solver to display the iteration's progress.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsnes.h"
    PetscErrorCode  SNESLineSearchMonitorSet(SNESLineSearch ls,PetscErrorCode (*f)(SNESLineSearch,void*),void *mctx,PetscErrorCode (*monitordestroy)(void**))

Logically Collective on SNESLineSearch

### Input Parameters

| ls | - the SNESLineSearch context
| f | - the monitor function
| mctx | - [optional] user-defined context for private data for the monitor routine (use NULL if no context is desired)
| monitordestroy | - [optional] routine that frees monitor context (may be NULL)

### Notes

Several different monitoring routines may be set by calling SNESLineSearchMonitorSet() multiple times; all will be called in the order in which they were set.

Fortran notes: Only a single monitor function can be set for each SNESLineSearch object
