       PetscErrorCode PetscInfo1(PetscObject obj, const char formatmessage[],arg1)
       PetscErrorCode PetscInfo2(PetscObject obj, const char formatmessage[],arg1,arg2)
       ...

    Collective on obj

    Input Parameter:
+   obj - object most closely associated with the logging statement or NULL
.   message - logging message
.   formatmessage - logging message using standard "printf" format
-   arg1, arg2, ... - arguments of the format

    Notes:
    PetscInfo() prints only from the first processor in the communicator of obj.
    If obj is NULL, the PETSC_COMM_SELF communicator is used, i.e. every rank of PETSC_COMM_WORLD prints the message.

    Extent of the printed messages can be controlled using the option database key -info as follows.

$   -info [filename][:[~]<list,of,classnames>[:[~]self]]

    No filename means standard output PETSC_STDOUT is used.

    The optional <list,of,classnames> is a comma separated list of enabled classes, e.g. vec,mat,ksp.
    If this list is not specified, all classes are enabled.
    Prepending the list with ~ means inverted selection, i.e. all classes except the listed are enabled.
    A special classname sys relates to PetscInfo() with obj being NULL.

    The optional self keyword specifies that PetscInfo() is enabled only for communicator size = 1 (e.g. PETSC_COMM_SELF), i.e. only PetscInfo() calls which print from every rank of PETSC_COMM_WORLD are enabled.
    By contrast, ~self means that PetscInfo() is enabled only for communicator size > 1 (e.g. PETSC_COMM_WORLD), i.e. those PetscInfo() calls which print from every rank of PETSC_COMM_WORLD are disabled.

    All classname/self matching is case insensitive. Filename is case sensitive.

    Example of Usage:
$     Mat A;
$     PetscInt alpha;
$     ...
$     PetscInfo1(A,"Matrix uses parameter alpha=%D\n",alpha);

    Options Examples:
    Each call of the form
$     PetscInfo(obj, msg);
$     PetscInfo1(obj, msg, arg1);
$     PetscInfo2(obj, msg, arg1, arg2);
    is evaluated as follows.
$     -info or -info :: prints msg to PETSC_STDOUT, for any obj regardless class or communicator
$     -info :mat:self prints msg to PETSC_STDOUT only if class of obj is Mat, and its communicator has size = 1
$     -info myInfoFileName:~vec:~self prints msg to file named myInfoFileName, only if the obj's class is NULL or other than Vec, and obj's communicator has size > 1
$     -info :sys prints to PETSC_STDOUT only if obj is NULL
    Note that
$     -info :sys:~self
    deactivates all info messages because sys means obj = NULL which implies PETSC_COMM_SELF but ~self filters out everything on PETSC_COMM_SELF.

    Fortran Note:
    This function does not take the obj argument, there is only the PetscInfo()
     version, not PetscInfo1() etc.
