# DMTSSetRHSFunction
set `TS` explicit residual evaluation function 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h" 
PetscErrorCode DMTSSetRHSFunction(DM dm, TSRHSFunction func, void *ctx)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** `DM` to be used with `TS`
- ***func -*** RHS function evaluation routine
- ***ctx -*** context for residual evaluation



## Calling sequence of `func`
```none
PetscErrorCode func(TS ts, PetscReal t, Vec u, Vec F, void *ctx);
```

- ***ts -*** timestep context
- ***t -*** current timestep
- ***u -*** input vector
- ***F -*** function vector
- ***ctx -*** [optional] user-defined function context





## Note
`TSSetRHSFunction()` is normally used, but it calls this function internally because the user context is actually
associated with the `DM`.  This makes the interface consistent regardless of whether the user interacts with a `DM` or
not. If `DM` took a more central role at some later date, this could become the primary method of setting the residual.
