# MatDenseGetColumnVecWrite

Gives write-only access to a column of a dense matrix, represented as a `Vec`.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatDenseGetColumnVecWrite(Mat A, PetscInt col, Vec *v)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- A - the `Mat` object

- col - the column index

## Output Parameter

- v - the vector

## Notes

The vector is owned by PETSc. Users need to call `MatDenseRestoreColumnVecWrite()` when the vector is no longer needed.

Use `MatDenseGetColumnVec()` to obtain read-write access or `MatDenseGetColumnVecRead()` for read-only access.
