Given an open file creates an ASCII viewer that prints to it.

### Synopsis

    PetscErrorCode  PetscViewerASCIIOpenWithFILE(MPI_Comm comm,FILE *fd,PetscViewer *lab)

Collective on MPI_Comm

### Input Parameters

| comm | - the communicator
| fd | - the FILE pointer

### Output Parameter

lab -the PetscViewer to use with the specified file

### Notes

This PetscViewer can be destroyed with PetscViewerDestroy(), but the fd will NOT be closed.
