ARGUMENTS

32       SIDE   - CHARACTER*1.
33              On  entry,   SIDE   specifies  whether  the  hermitian matrix  A
34              appears on the  left or right  in the  operation as follows:
35
36              SIDE = 'L' or 'l'   C := alpha*A*B + beta*C,
37
38              SIDE = 'R' or 'r'   C := alpha*B*A + beta*C,
39
40              Unchanged on exit.
41
42       UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
43              On  entry,   UPLO  specifies  whether   the   upper   or   lower
44              triangular   part   of   the   hermitian  matrix   A  is  to  be
45              referenced as follows:
46
47              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the upper triangular part of  the  her‐
48              mitian matrix is to be referenced.
49
50              UPLO  =  'L' or 'l'   Only the lower triangular part of the her‐
51              mitian matrix is to be referenced.
52

54
55       M      - INTEGER.

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