# VecRestoreArrays
Restores a group of vectors after VecGetArrays() has been called. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecRestoreArrays(const Vec x[], PetscInt n, PetscScalar **a[])
```
Logically Collective on Vec


## Input Parameters

- ***x -*** the vector
- ***n -*** the number of vectors
- ***a -*** location of pointer to arrays obtained from VecGetArrays()



## Notes
For regular PETSc vectors this routine does not involve any copies. For
any special vectors that do not store local vector data in a contiguous
array, this routine will copy the data back into the underlying
vector data structure from the arrays obtained with VecGetArrays().


## Fortran Note
This routine is not supported in Fortran.
