### Synopsis

    #include "petscsection.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscSectionCreateGlobalSectionCensored(PetscSection s, PetscSF sf, PetscBool includeConstraints, PetscInt numExcludes, const PetscInt excludes[], PetscSection *gsection)

### Input Parameters

+ s - The PetscSection for the local field layout . sf - The SF describing parallel layout of the section points . includeConstraints - By default this is PETSC_FALSE, meaning that the global field vector will not possess constrained dofs . numExcludes - The number of exclusion ranges - excludes - An array [start_0, end_0, start_1, end_1, ...] where there are numExcludes pairs

### Output Parameter

. gsection - The PetscSection for the global field layout
