# SNESLineSearchSetLambda

Sets the linesearch steplength.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsnes.h"
    PetscErrorCode  SNESLineSearchSetLambda(SNESLineSearch linesearch, PetscReal lambda)

### Input Parameters

| linesearch | - linesearch context
| lambda | - The last steplength.

### Notes

This routine is typically used within implementations of SNESLineSearchApply() to set the final steplength. This routine (and SNESLineSearchGetLambda()) were added in order to facilitate Quasi-Newton methods that use the previous steplength as an inner scaling parameter.
