# SLEPc System Functions

SLEPc provides a variety of “system” level operations. These functions are generally used by other SLEPc routines and are not intended for application programmers (except the basic `SlepcInitialize()` / `SlepcFinalize()`).

Other useful tools for application programmers can be found in the PETSc C/Fortran API, including parallel file access, synchronized printing to the screen, and many other programming aids.

Examples

## Beginner - Basic usage

SlepcFinalize SlepcFinalized | SlepcInitialize | SlepcInitialized

## Intermediate - Setting options for algorithms and data structures

MatCreateBSE MatCreateHamiltonian | MatCreateLREP SlepcGetVersion | SlepcGetVersionNumber SlepcHasExternalPackage

## Advanced - Setting more advanced options and customization

SlepcArbitrarySelectionFn SlepcEigenvalueComparisonFn | SlepcInitializeFortran SlepcInitializeNoArguments | SlepcInitializeNoPointers

## Developer - Interfaces rarely needed by applications programmers

MatCreateTile MatCreateVecsEmpty MatNormEstimate SlepcAbs SlepcAbsEigenvalue SlepcHeaderCreate SlepcSC | SlepcSCCompare SlepcSNPrintfScalar SlepcSortEigenvalues SlepcSortEigenvaluesSpecial VECCOMP VecCheckOrthogonality VecCheckOrthonormality | VecCompGetSubVecs VecCompSetSubVecs VecCreateComp VecCreateCompWithVecs VecDuplicateEmpty VecNormalizeComplex VecSetRandomNormal
