# ISPermutation
PETSC_TRUE or PETSC_FALSE depending on whether the index set has been declared to be a permutation. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscis.h" 
PetscErrorCode ISPermutation(IS is, PetscBool *perm)
```
Logically Collective on IS


## Input Parameter

- ***is -*** the index set



## Output Parameter

- ***perm -*** PETSC_TRUE if a permutation, else PETSC_FALSE




Note: If it is not already known that the IS is a permutation (if ISSetPermutation()
or ISSetInfo() has not been called), this routine will not attempt to compute
whether the index set is a permutation and will assume perm is PETSC_FALSE.
To compute the value when it is not already known, use ISGetInfo() with
the compute flag set to PETSC_TRUE.
