# PetscObjectComm

Gets the MPI communicator for any PetscObject regardless of the type.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"
    MPI_Comm  PetscObjectComm(PetscObject obj)

Not Collective

### Input Parameter

obj -any PETSc object, for example a Vec, Mat or KSP. Thus must be cast with a (PetscObject), for example, SETERRQ(PetscObjectComm((PetscObject)mat,...);

### Output Parameter

comm -the MPI communicator or MPI_COMM_NULL if object is not valid

Notes: Never use this in the form

          comm = PetscObjectComm((PetscObject)obj);

instead use PetscObjectGetComm()
