# SNESShellSetSolve
Sets routine to apply as solver 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h"   
PetscErrorCode SNESShellSetSolve(SNES snes, PetscErrorCode (*solve)(SNES, Vec))
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***snes -*** the `SNES` nonlinear solver context
- ***apply -*** the application-provided solver routine



## Calling sequence of solve
```none
   PetscErrorCode apply (SNES snes,Vec xout)
```



- ***snes -*** the preconditioner, get the application context with `SNESShellGetContext()` provided with `SNESShelletContext()`
- ***xout -*** solution vector
