STRRFS provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the


 solution to a system of linear equations with a triangular


 coefficient matrix.


 The solution matrix X must be computed by STRTRS or some other


 means before entering this routine.  STRRFS does not do iterative


 refinement because doing so cannot improve the backward error.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


          = 'U':  A is upper triangular;


          = 'L':  A is lower triangular.

TRANS

          TRANS is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies the form of the system of equations:


          = 'N':  A * X = B  (No transpose)


          = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)


          = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate transpose = Transpose)

DIAG

          DIAG is CHARACTER*1


          = 'N':  A is non-unit triangular;


          = 'U':  A is unit triangular.

N

          N is INTEGER


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

NRHS

          NRHS is INTEGER


          The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns


          of the matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

A

          A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)


          The triangular matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N


          upper triangular part of the array A contains the upper


          triangular matrix, and the strictly lower triangular part of


          A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower


          triangular part of the array A contains the lower triangular


          matrix, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not


          referenced.  If DIAG = 'U', the diagonal elements of A are


          also not referenced and are assumed to be 1.

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER


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

B

          B is REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)


          The right hand side matrix B.

LDB

          LDB is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,N).

X

          X is REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)


          The solution matrix X.

LDX

          LDX is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).

FERR

          FERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)


          The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector


          X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).


          If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j)


          is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest


          element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the


          largest element in X(j).  The estimate is as reliable as


          the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a slight


          overestimate of the true error.

BERR

          BERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)


          The componentwise relative backward error of each solution


          vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in


          any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension (3*N)

IWORK

          IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (N)

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


          = 0:  successful exit


          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
