Satish,
Something is seriously wrong with the development version of the online
docs. The old location
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/snapshots/petsc-dev/src/dm/da/interface/dm.c.html#DMCreateGlobalVector
was changed months ago. Is something not being properly rebuilt?

You should use Emacs etags to do this kind of thing. See
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/snapshots/petsc-dev/docs/manual.pdf
section 13.8 To find all the implementations use meta . functionname then meta
0 meta . to go to the next etc etc. No pain.
