# MatDenseGetColumnVecRead

Gives read-only access to a column of a dense matrix, represented as a Vec.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatDenseGetColumnVecRead(Mat A,PetscInt col,Vec *v)

Collective

### Input Parameters

| mat | - the Mat object
| col | - the column index

### Output Parameter

| v | - the vector

### Notes

The vector is owned by PETSc and users cannot modify it. Users need to call MatDenseRestoreColumnVecRead() when the vector is no longer needed. Use MatDenseGetColumnVec() to obtain read-write access or MatDenseGetColumnVecWrite() for write-only access.
