Detailed Description

Function Documentation

   double precision function dlamch (character cmach)
       DLAMCH

       Purpose:

            DLAMCH determines double precision machine parameters.

       Parameters
           CMACH

                     CMACH is CHARACTER*1
                     Specifies the value to be returned by DLAMCH:
                     = 'E' or 'e',   DLAMCH := eps
                     = 'S' or 's ,   DLAMCH := sfmin

                     = 'P' or 'p',   DLAMCH := eps*base
                     = 'N' or 'n',   DLAMCH := t

                     = 'O' or 'o',   DLAMCH := rmax
                     where
                     eps   = relative machine precision
                     sfmin = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow
                     base  = base of the machine
                     prec  = eps*base
                     t     = number of (base) digits in the mantissa
                     rnd   = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise
                     emin  = minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow
                     rmin  = underflow threshold - base**(emin-1)
                     emax  = largest exponent before overflow
                     rmax  = overflow threshold  - (base**emax)*(1-eps)
