# SNESNewtonTRSetPreCheck
Sets a user function that is called before the search step has been determined. Allows the user a chance to change or override the decision of the line search routine. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h"   
PetscErrorCode SNESNewtonTRSetPreCheck(SNES snes, PetscErrorCode (*func)(SNES, Vec, Vec, PetscBool *, void *), void *ctx)
```
Deprecated use `SNESNEWTONDCTRDC`

Logically Collective on snes


## Input Parameters

- ***snes -*** the nonlinear solver object
- ***func -*** [optional] function evaluation routine, see `SNESNewtonTRPreCheck()`  for the calling sequence
- ***ctx  -*** [optional] user-defined context for private data for the function evaluation routine (may be NULL)





## Note
This function is called BEFORE the function evaluation within the `SNESNEWTONTR` solver.
