## Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscTraceBackErrorHandler(MPI_Comm comm, int line, const char *fun, const char *file, PetscErrorCode n, PetscErrorType p, const char *mess, PetscCtx ctx)

Not Collective, No Fortran Support

## Input Parameters

- comm - communicator over which error occurred

- line - the line number of the error (usually indicated by `__LINE__` in the calling routine)

- fun - the function name

- file - the file in which the error was detected (usually indicated by `__FILE__` in the calling routine)

- mess - an error text string, usually just printed to the screen

- n - the generic error number

- p - `PETSC_ERROR_INITIAL` if this is the first call the error handler, otherwise `PETSC_ERROR_REPEAT`

- ctx - error handler context

- -error_output_none - do not output the error messages
