<br>
just would like to make a suggestion to update the PETSc documentation<br>
to specify how the "-options_file" command line argument works.<br>
<br>
The only reference to it I could find in the PETSc docs was on the<br>
2.0.16 changes list page.<br>
<br>
Since this feature is used pretty heavily by our group when<br>
customising e.g. multigrid solvers, it would be nice in the docs of<br>
our code to be able to link to a PETSc document about this as a<br>
definitive source.<br>
<br>
thanks, Patrick.<br>
