# ISGetNonlocalIndices
Retrieve an array of indices from remote processors in this communicator. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscis.h" 
PetscErrorCode ISGetNonlocalIndices(IS is, const PetscInt *indices[])
```
Collective on IS


## Input Parameter

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



## Output Parameter

- ***indices -*** indices with rank 0 indices first, and so on,  omitting
the current rank.  Total number of indices is the difference
total and local, obtained with ISGetSize() and ISGetLocalSize(),
respectively.





## Notes
restore the indices using ISRestoreNonlocalIndices().
The same scalability considerations as those for ISGetTotalIndices
apply here.


## See Also

## Level
