# VecCUDARestoreArrayWrite
Restore a CUDA device pointer previously acquired with VecCUDAGetArrayWrite(). 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h"   
PETSC_EXTERN PetscErrorCode VecCUDARestoreArrayWrite(Vec v, PetscScalar **a)
```
Data on the host will be marked as out of date.  Subsequent access of
the data on the host side e.g. with VecGetArray() will incur a device
to host data transfer.


## Input Parameters

- ***v -*** the vector
- ***a -*** the CUDA device pointer.  This pointer is invalid after
VecCUDARestoreArrayWrite() returns.



## Fortran note
This function is not currently available from Fortran.
