  Input Parameters:

. pre     - the string to prepend to the name or `NULL`
- name    - the options database name that will be checked for

  Output Parameters:

- set    - `PETSC_TRUE` if found, else `PETSC_FALSE`

  Level: intermediate

  Notes:
  If no value is provided ascii:stdout is used
+       ascii[:[filename][:[format][:append]]]  -  defaults to stdout - format can be one of ascii_info, ascii_info_detail, or ascii_matlab,
  for example ascii::ascii_info prints just the information about the object not all details
  unless :append is given filename opens in write mode, overwriting what was already there
.       binary[:[filename][:[format][:append]]] -  defaults to the file binaryoutput
.       draw[:drawtype[:filename]]              -  for example, draw:tikz, draw:tikz:figure.tex  or draw:x
.       socket[:port]                           -  defaults to the standard output port
-       saws[:communicatorname]                 -   publishes object to the Scientific Application Webserver (SAWs)

  Use `PetscOptionsRestoreViewer()` after using the viewer, do not use `PetscViewerDestroy()`

  You can control whether calls to this function create a viewer (or return early with *set of `PETSC_FALSE`) with
  `PetscOptionsPushGetViewerOff()`.  This is useful if calling many small subsolves, in which case XXXViewFromOptions can take
  an appreciable fraction of the runtime.

  If PETSc is configured with `--with-viewfromoptions=0` this function always returns with *set of `PETSC_FALSE`

  This routine is thread-safe for accessing predefined `PetscViewer`s like `PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_SELF` but not for accessing
  files by name.

/*@C
  PetscViewerRegister - Adds a viewer to those available for use with `PetscViewerSetType()`

  Not Collective

  Input Parameters:
+ sname    - name of a new user-defined viewer
- function - routine to create method context

  Level: developer

  Note:
  `PetscViewerRegister()` may be called multiple times to add several user-defined viewers.

  Example Usage:
.vb
   PetscViewerRegister("my_viewer_type", MyViewerCreate);
.ve

  Then, your solver can be chosen with the procedural interface via
$     PetscViewerSetType(viewer, "my_viewer_type")
  or at runtime via the option
$     -viewer_type my_viewer_type
