# KSPGetTotalIterations

Gets the total number of iterations this `KSP` object has performed since was created, counted over all linear solves

## Synopsis

    #include "petscksp.h"
    PetscErrorCode KSPGetTotalIterations(KSP ksp, PetscInt *its)

Not Collective

## Input Parameter

- ksp - the iterative context

## Output Parameter

- its - total number of iterations

## Note

Use `KSPGetIterationNumber()` to get the count for the most recent solve only If this is called within a `KSPSolve()` (such as in a `KSPMonitor` routine) then it does not include iterations within that current solve
