# ISSetPermutation
Informs the index set that it is a permutation. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscis.h" 
PetscErrorCode ISSetPermutation(IS is)
```
Logically Collective on IS


## Input Parameter

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




The debug version of the libraries (./configure --with-debugging=1) checks if the
index set is actually a permutation. The optimized version just believes you.

Note: The IS will be considered a permutation permanently, even if indices have been changes (for example, with
ISGeneralSetIndices()).  It's a good idea to only set this property if the IS will not change in the future.
To clear this property, use ISClearInfoCache().
