# PCPARMSSetNonsymPerm
Sets the type of permutation for the ARMS preconditioner: the standard symmetric ARMS or the non-symmetric ARMS (ARMS-ddPQ). 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCPARMSSetNonsymPerm(PC pc, PetscBool nonsym)
```
Collective on pc


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***nonsym -*** `PETSC_TRUE` indicates the non-symmetric ARMS is used;
`PETSC_FALSE` indicates the symmetric ARMS is used



## Options Database Key

- ***-pc_parms_nonsymmetric_perm -*** sets the use of nonsymmetric permutation
