[petsc-users] example to use GetVecType

[Dominik Szczerba]

Is there a C example how to use GetVecType?
I am trying to do something like

        // VecType* type;
        char type[1024];
        ierr = VecGetType(b, type);
        ierr = PetscSynchronizedFPrintf(PETSC_COMM_WORLD, stderr, "%s\n",
type); CHKERRQ(ierr);

but always get this or another error like cannot convert 'char*' to
'const char**' or similar.

Many thanks
Dominik
