    PetscErrorCode  SNESSetUpdate(SNES snes, PetscErrorCode (*func)(SNES, PetscInt))

Logically Collective on SNES

### Input Parameters

snes -The nonlinear solver context
func -The function

### Calling sequence of func

func (SNES snes, PetscInt step); -
step -The current step of the iteration

Note: This is NOT what one uses to update the ghost points before a function evaluation, that should be done at the beginning of your FormFunction() This is not used by most users.
