# SNESSetConvergenceTest
Sets the function that is to be used to test for convergence of the nonlinear iterative solution. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode SNESSetConvergenceTest(SNES snes, PetscErrorCode (*SNESConvergenceTestFunction)(SNES, PetscInt, PetscReal, PetscReal, PetscReal, SNESConvergedReason *, void *), void *cctx, PetscErrorCode (*destroy)(void *))
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***snes -*** the `SNES` context
- ***`SNESConvergenceTestFunction` -*** routine to test for convergence
- ***cctx -*** [optional] context for private data for the convergence routine  (may be NULL)
- ***destroy -*** [optional] destructor for the context (may be NULL; PETSC_NULL_FUNCTION in Fortran)
