# DAGetAdicArray

Gets an array of derivative types for a DA

### Synopsis

    #include "petscda.h"
    PetscErrorCode PETSCDM_DLLEXPORT DAGetAdicArray(DA da,PetscTruth ghosted,void **iptr,void **array_start,PetscInt *tdof)

### Input Parameter

| da | - information about my local patch
| ghosted | - do you want arrays for the ghosted or nonghosted patch

### Output Parameters

| ptr | - array data structured to be passed to ad_FormFunctionLocal()
| array_start | - actual start of 1d array of all values that adiC can access directly (may be null)
| tdof | - total number of degrees of freedom represented in array_start (may be null)

### Notes

The vector values are NOT initialized and may have garbage in them, so you may need to zero them.

Returns the same type of object as the DAVecGetArray() except its elements are derivative types instead of PetscScalars
