# SNESLineSearchSetFromOptions
Sets options for the line search 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h" 
PetscErrorCode SNESLineSearchSetFromOptions(SNESLineSearch linesearch)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameter

- ***linesearch -*** linesearch context



## Options Database Keys

- ***-snes_linesearch_type <type> -*** basic (or equivalently none), bt, l2, cp, nleqerr, shell
- ***-snes_linesearch_order <order> -*** 1, 2, 3.  Most types only support certain orders (bt supports 2 or 3)
- ***-snes_linesearch_norms   -*** Turn on/off the linesearch norms for the basic linesearch typem (`SNESLineSearchSetComputeNorms()`)
- ***-snes_linesearch_minlambda -*** The minimum step length
- ***-snes_linesearch_maxstep -*** The maximum step size
- ***-snes_linesearch_rtol -*** Relative tolerance for iterative line searches
- ***-snes_linesearch_atol -*** Absolute tolerance for iterative line searches
- ***-snes_linesearch_ltol -*** Change in lambda tolerance for iterative line searches
- ***-snes_linesearch_max_it -*** The number of iterations for iterative line searches
- ***-snes_linesearch_monitor [:filename] -*** Print progress of line searches
- ***-snes_linesearch_monitor_solution_update [viewer:filename:format] -*** view each update tried by line search routine
- ***-snes_linesearch_damping -*** The linesearch damping parameter
- ***-snes_linesearch_keeplambda -*** Keep the previous search length as the initial guess.
- ***-snes_linesearch_precheck_picard -*** Use precheck that speeds up convergence of picard method
- ***-snes_linesearch_precheck_picard_angle -*** Angle used in Picard precheck method
