# PCSetApplicationContext

Sets the optional user-defined context for the preconditioner

## Synopsis

    #include "petscpc.h"
    PetscErrorCode PCSetApplicationContext(PC pc, PetscCtx ctx)

Logically Collective

## Input Parameters

- pc - the `PC` context

- ctx - optional application context

## Fortran Note

This only works when `ctx` is a Fortran derived type (it cannot be a `PetscObject`), we recommend writing a Fortran interface definition for this function that tells the Fortran compiler the derived data type that is passed in as the `ctx` argument. See `PCGetApplicationContext()` for an example.
