Sets routine to apply as solver 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petsctao.h" 
PetscErrorCode TaoShellSetSolve(Tao tao, PetscErrorCode (*solve)(Tao))
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***tao -*** the nonlinear solver context
- ***solve -*** the application-provided solver routine



## Calling sequence of solve
```none
   PetscErrorCode solve (Tao tao)
```



- ***tao -*** the optimizer, get the application context with TaoShellGetContext()



## Notes
the function MUST return an error code of 0 on success and nonzero on failure.
