ARGUMENTS

31       SIDE   - CHARACTER*1.
32              On entry,  SIDE  specifies whether   the   hermitian  matrix   A
33              appears on the  left or right  in the  operation as follows:
34
35              SIDE = 'L' or 'l'   C := alpha*A*B + beta*C,
36
37              SIDE = 'R' or 'r'   C := alpha*B*A + beta*C,
38
39              Unchanged on exit.
40
41       UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
42              On   entry,    UPLO   specifies   whether  the  upper  or  lower
43              triangular  part  of  the  hermitian  matrix    A   is   to   be
44              referenced as follows:
45
46              UPLO  =  'U' or 'u'   Only the upper triangular part of the her‐
47              mitian matrix is to be referenced.
48
49              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the lower triangular part of  the  her‐
50              mitian matrix is to be referenced.

53
54       M      - INTEGER.
55              On  entry,  M  specifies the number of rows of the matrix  C.  M
56              must be at least zero.  Unchanged on exit.
57
58       N      - INTEGER.
59              On entry, N specifies the number of columns of the matrix C.   N
60              must be at least zero.  Unchanged on exit.
61
62       ALPHA  - COMPLEX         .
63              On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.  Unchanged on exit.
64
65       A      - COMPLEX          array of DIMENSION ( LDA, ka ), where ka is
66              m   when   SIDE = 'L' or 'l'  and is n  otherwise.  Before entry
67              with  SIDE = 'L' or 'l',  the  m by m   part  of  the  array   A
68              must  contain the  hermitian matrix,  such that when  UPLO = 'U'
69              or 'u', the leading m by m upper triangular part of the array  A
70              must  contain the upper triangular part of the  hermitian matrix
71              and the  strictly  lower triangular part of  A   is  not  refer‐
72              enced,   and when  UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading  m by m  lower
73              triangular part  of the  array  A must  contain  the  lower tri‐
74              angular  part   of the  hermitian matrix and the  strictly upper
75              triangular part of  A  is not referenced.   Before  entry   with
76              SIDE = 'R' or 'r',  the  n by n  part of the array  A  must con‐
77              tain the  hermitian matrix,  such that when  UPLO = 'U' or  'u',
78              the  leading  n by n upper triangular part of the array  A  must
79              contain the upper triangular part of the  hermitian  matrix  and
80              the   strictly   lower triangular part of  A  is not referenced,
81              and when  UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading  n by n  lower triangu‐
82              lar  part  of the  array  A must  contain  the  lower triangular
83              part  of the  hermitian matrix and the  strictly upper  triangu‐
84              lar  part  of   A   is  not referenced.  Note that the imaginary
85              parts  of the diagonal  elements  need  not  be  set,  they  are
86              assumed to be zero.  Unchanged on exit.
87
88       LDA    - INTEGER.
89              On  entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in
90              the  calling (sub) program. When  SIDE = 'L' or  'l'   then  LDA
91              must  be  at least  max( 1, m ), otherwise  LDA must be at least
92              max( 1, n ).  Unchanged on exit.
93
94       B      - COMPLEX          array of DIMENSION ( LDB, n ).
95              Before entry, the leading  m by n part of  the  array   B   must
96              contain the matrix B.  Unchanged on exit.
97
98       LDB    - INTEGER.
99              On  entry, LDB specifies the first dimension of B as declared in
100              the  calling  (sub)  program.   LDB  must  be  at  least max( 1,
101              m ).  Unchanged on exit.
102
103       BETA   - COMPLEX         .
104              On  entry,   BETA   specifies  the scalar  beta.  When  BETA  is
105              supplied as zero then C need not be set on input.  Unchanged  on
106              exit.
107
108       C      - COMPLEX          array of DIMENSION ( LDC, n ).
109              Before  entry,  the  leading   m by n  part of the array  C must
110              contain the matrix  C,  except when  beta   is  zero,  in  which
111              case  C  need  not  be  set on entry.  On exit, the array  C  is
112              overwritten by the  m by n updated matrix.
113
114       LDC    - INTEGER.
115              On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared  in
116              the  calling  (sub)  program.   LDC  must  be  at  least max( 1,
117              m ).  Unchanged on exit.
