   PetscObjectGetType - Gets the object type of any `PetscObject`.

   Not Collective

   Input Parameter:
.  obj - any PETSc object, for example a `Vec`, `Mat` or `KSP`.
         Thus must be cast with a (`PetscObject`), for example,
         `PetscObjectGetType`((`PetscObject`)mat,&type);

   Output Parameter:
.  type - the object type, for example, `MATSEQAIJ`

   Level: advanced

.seealso: `PetscObject`, `PetscClassId`, `PetscObjectGetClassName()`, `PetscObjectGetClassId()`
