     PetscOptionsInsertFile - Inserts options into the database from a file.

     Collective

  Input Parameter:
+   comm - the processes that will share the options (usually PETSC_COMM_WORLD)
.   options - options database, use NULL for default global database
.   file - name of file
-   require - if PETSC_TRUE will generate an error if the file does not exist


  Notes:
    Use  # for lines that are comments and which should be ignored.

   Usually, instead of using this command, one should list the file name in the call to PetscInitialize(), this insures that certain options
   such as -log_view or -malloc_debug are processed properly. This routine only sets options into the options database that will be processed by later
   calls to XXXSetFromOptions() it should not be used for options listed under PetscInitialize().

   Input Parameters:

   Notes:

      If the option is given, but no value is provided, then ivalue and set are both given the value PETSC_TRUE. That is -requested_bool

   PetscOptionsGetEnumArray - Gets an array of enum values for a particular option in the database.

   Not Collective

   Input Parameters:
+  options - options database, use NULL for default global database
.  pre - option prefix or NULL
.  name - option name
.  list - array containing the list of choices, followed by the enum name, followed by the enum prefix, followed by a null
-  nmax - maximum number of values to retrieve

   Output Parameters:
+  ivalue - the  enum values to return
.  nmax - actual number of values retreived
-  set - PETSC_TRUE if found, else PETSC_FALSE

   Level: beginner

   Notes:
   The array must be passed as a comma separated list.

   There must be no intervening spaces between the values.

   list is usually something like PCASMTypes or some other predefined list of enum names.

   PetscOptionsDeprecated - mark an option as deprecated, optionally replacing it with a new one

   Prints a deprecation warning, unless an option is supplied to suppress.

   Not Collective

   Input Parameters:
+  pre - string to prepend to name or NULL
.  oldname - the old, deprecated option
.  newname - the new option, or NULL if option is purely removed
.  version - a string describing the version of first deprecation, e.g. "3.9"
-  info - additional information string, or NULL.

   Options Database Keys:
. -options_suppress_deprecated_warnings - do not print deprecation warnings

   Notes:
   Must be called between PetscOptionsBegin() and PetscOptionsEnd().
   If newname is provided, the old option is replaced. Otherwise, it remains
   in the options database.
   If an option is not replaced, the info argument should be used to advise the user
   on how to proceed.
   There is a limit on the length of the warning printed, so very long strings
   provided as info may be truncated.
