   Notes:
   Most users should employ the following commands to access the

$
$    PetscViewerSocketOpen(MPI_Comm comm, char *machine,int port,PetscViewer &viewer)
$    MatView(Mat matrix,PetscViewer viewer)

     Currently the only socket client available is MATLAB. See
     src/dm/tests/ex12.c and ex12.m for an example of usage.

    The socket viewer is in some sense a subclass of the binary viewer, to read and write to the socket
    use `PetscViewerBinaryRead()`, `PetscViewerBinaryWrite()`, `PetscViewerBinarWriteStringArray()`, `PetscViewerBinaryGetDescriptor()`.

     Use this for communicating with an interactive MATLAB session, see `PETSC_VIEWER_MATLAB_()` for writing output to a
