# VecHIPRestoreArrayRead
Restore a HIP device pointer previously acquired with `VecHIPGetArrayRead()`. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h"   
PETSC_EXTERN PetscErrorCode VecHIPRestoreArrayRead(Vec v, const PetscScalar **a)
```
Not Collective; No Fortran Support


## Input Parameters

- ***v -*** the vector
- ***a -*** the HIP device pointer.  This pointer is invalid after
`VecHIPRestoreArrayRead()` returns.





## Note
If the data on the host side was previously up to date it will remain
so, i.e. data on both the device and the host is up to date.
Accessing data on the host side e.g. with `VecGetArray()` does not
incur a device to host data transfer.
