# TSSetPostStage
Sets the general-purpose function, provided with `TSSetPostStep()`, called once at the end of each stage. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSSetPostStage(TS ts, PetscErrorCode (*func)(TS, PetscReal, PetscInt, Vec *))
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ts   -*** The `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`
- ***func -*** The function



## Calling sequence of func
```none
  PetscErrorCode func(TS ts, PetscReal stagetime, PetscInt stageindex, Vec* Y);
```





## Note
There may be several stages per time step. If the solve for a given stage fails, the step may be rejected and retried.
The time step number being computed can be queried using `TSGetStepNumber()` and the total size of the step being
attempted can be obtained using `TSGetTimeStep()`. The time at the start of the step is available via `TSGetTime()`.
