## Synopsis

    #include "petscdm.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMGetCoordinateSection(DM dm, PetscSection *section)

## Input Parameter

- dm - The `DM` object

## Output Parameter

- section - The `PetscSection` object

## Note

This just retrieves the local section from the coordinate `DM`. In other words,

      DMGetCoordinateDM(dm, &cdm);
      DMGetLocalSection(cdm, &section);
