# BVGetColumn

Returns a Vec object that contains the entries of the requested column of the basis vectors object.

### Synopsis

    #include "slepcbv.h"
    PetscErrorCode BVGetColumn(BV bv,PetscInt j,Vec *v)

Logically Collective on bv

### Input Parameters

| bv | - the basis vectors context
| j | - the index of the requested column

### Output Parameter

| v | - vector containing the jth column

### Notes

The returned Vec must be seen as a reference (not a copy) of the BV column, that is, modifying the Vec will change the BV entries as well.

The returned Vec must not be destroyed. BVRestoreColumn() must be called when it is no longer needed. At most, two columns can be fetched, that is, this function can only be called twice before the corresponding BVRestoreColumn() is invoked.

A negative index j selects the i-th constraint, where i=-j. Constraints should not be modified.
