VecCreateGhost

[Tim Kroeger]

Dear PETSc team,

When I create a vector using VecCreateGhost(), and later on I want to 
access the value of one of the ghost cells, and all I know is the 
*global* index of that value, what is the correct thing to do?  I 
understand that the ghost values are stored at the end of the vector 
and that this is done in the order that I used when creating the 
vector, but do I have to remember that order myself, or is there some 
method to query the local index corresponding to a global index?

Best Regards,

Tim
