   function or the objective function if it is provided with `SNESSetObjective()`.
   If this fit does not satisfy the conditions for progress, the interval shrinks
   and the fit is reattempted at most max_it times or until lambda is below minlambda.

   Options Database Keys:
+  -snes_linesearch_alpha <1e\-4>      - slope descent parameter
.  -snes_linesearch_damping <1.0>      - initial step length
.  -snes_linesearch_maxstep <length>   - if the length the initial step is larger than this then the
                                         step is scaled back to be of this length at the beginning of the line search
.  -snes_linesearch_max_it <40>        - maximum number of shrinking step
.  -snes_linesearch_minlambda <1e\-12> - minimum step length allowed
-  -snes_linesearch_order <1,2,3>      - order of the approximation. With order 1, it performs a simple backtracking without any curve fitting

   Level: advanced

   Note:
   This line search will always produce a step that is less than or equal to, in length, the full step size.
