# PetscFEGetFaceQuadrature
Returns the `PetscQuadrature` used to calculate inner products on faces 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscfe.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscFEGetFaceQuadrature(PetscFE fem, PetscQuadrature *q)
```
Not collective


## Input Parameter

- ***fem -*** The `PetscFE` object



## Output Parameter

- ***q -*** The `PetscQuadrature` object





## Developer Note
There is a special face quadrature but not edge, likely this API would benefit from a refactorization


## See Also
 `PetscFE`, `PetscSpace`, `PetscDualSpace`, `PetscQuadrature`, `PetscFECreate()`, `PetscFESetQuadrature()`, `PetscFESetFaceQuadrature()`
