   subroutine chetrf (characterUPLO, integerN, complex, dimension( lda, * )A, integerLDA,
       integer, dimension( * )IPIV, complex, dimension( * )WORK, integerLWORK, integerINFO)
       CHETRF

       Purpose:

            CHETRF computes the factorization of a complex Hermitian matrix A
            using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method.  The form of the
            factorization is

               A = U*D*U**H  or  A = L*D*L**H

            where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)
            triangular matrices, and D is Hermitian and block diagonal with
            1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.

            This is the blocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.

       Parameters:
           UPLO

                     UPLO is CHARACTER*1
                     = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
                     = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

           N

                     N is INTEGER
                     The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

           A

                     A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
                     On entry, the Hermitian matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading
                     N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper
                     triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower
                     triangular part of A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the
                     leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower
                     triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper
                     triangular part of A is not referenced.

                     On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used
                     to obtain the factor U or L (see below for further details).

           LDA

                     LDA is INTEGER
                     The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).

           IPIV

                     IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
                     Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D.
                     If IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns k and IPIV(k) were
                     interchanged and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.
                     If UPLO = 'U' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) < 0, then rows and
                     columns k-1 and -IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k)
                     is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If UPLO = 'L' and IPIV(k) =
                     IPIV(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -IPIV(k) were
                     interchanged and D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.

           WORK

                     WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
                     On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.

           LWORK

                     LWORK is INTEGER
                     The length of WORK.  LWORK >=1.  For best performance
                     LWORK >= N*NB, where NB is the block size returned by ILAENV.

           INFO

                     INFO is INTEGER
                     = 0:  successful exit
                     < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
                     > 0:  if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization
                           has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is
                           exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it
                           is used to solve a system of equations.

       Further Details:

             If UPLO = 'U', then A = U*D*U**H, where
                U = P(n)*U(n)* ... *P(k)U(k)* ...,
             i.e., U is a product of terms P(k)*U(k), where k decreases from n to
             1 in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix with 1-by-1
             and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k).  P(k) is a permutation matrix as
             defined by IPIV(k), and U(k) is a unit upper triangular matrix, such
             that if the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then

                        (   I    v    0   )   k-s
                U(k) =  (   0    I    0   )   s
                        (   0    0    I   )   n-k
                           k-s   s   n-k

             If s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-1,k).
             If s = 2, the upper triangle of D(k) overwrites A(k-1,k-1), A(k-1,k),
             and A(k,k), and v overwrites A(1:k-2,k-1:k).

             If UPLO = 'L', then A = L*D*L**H, where
                L = P(1)*L(1)* ... *P(k)*L(k)* ...,
             i.e., L is a product of terms P(k)*L(k), where k increases from 1 to
             n in steps of 1 or 2, and D is a block diagonal matrix with 1-by-1
             and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks D(k).  P(k) is a permutation matrix as
             defined by IPIV(k), and L(k) is a unit lower triangular matrix, such
             that if the diagonal block D(k) is of order s (s = 1 or 2), then

                        (   I    0     0   )  k-1
                L(k) =  (   0    I     0   )  s
                        (   0    v     I   )  n-k-s+1
                           k-1   s  n-k-s+1

             If s = 1, D(k) overwrites A(k,k), and v overwrites A(k+1:n,k).
             If s = 2, the lower triangle of D(k) overwrites A(k,k), A(k+1,k),
             and A(k+1,k+1), and v overwrites A(k+2:n,k:k+1).
