# PCShellSetSetUp
Sets routine to use to "setup" the preconditioner whenever the matrix operator is changed. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCShellSetSetUp(PC pc, PetscErrorCode (*setup)(PC))
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***setup -*** the application-provided setup routine



## Calling sequence of setup
```none
   PetscErrorCode setup (PC pc)
```



- ***pc -*** the preconditioner, get the application context with PCShellGetContext()



## Note
the function MUST return an error code of 0 on success and nonzero on failure.
