# MatDenseGetColumnVec

Gives read-write access to a column of a `MATDENSE` matrix, represented as a `Vec`.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatDenseGetColumnVec(Mat A, PetscInt col, Vec *v)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- A - the `Mat` object

- col - the column index

## Output Parameter

- v - the vector

## Notes

The vector is owned by PETSc. Users need to call `MatDenseRestoreColumnVec()` when the vector is no longer needed.

Use `MatDenseGetColumnVecRead()` to obtain read-only access or `MatDenseGetColumnVecWrite()` for write-only access.
