Arguments

UPLO	Indicates whether xA contains the upper or lower triangle of the matrix. The legal values for UPLO are listed below. Any values not listed below are illegal.
	'U' or 'u'	xA contains the upper triangle.
	'L' or 'l'	xA contains the lower triangle.
TRANSA	Indicates the form of the system of equations. The legal values for TRANSA are listed below. Any values not listed below are illegal.
	'N' or 'n'	No transpose, solve AX = B.
	'T' or 't'	Transpose, solve ATX = B.
	'C' or 'c'	Conjugate transpose, solve AHX = B.
	Note that AT and AH are the same for real matrices.
DIAG	Indicates whether or not A is unit triangular. The legal values for DIAG are listed below. Any values not listed below are illegal.
	'N' or 'n'	A is not unit triangular.
	'U' or 'u'	A is unit triangular.
N	Order of the matrix A. N 0.
NRHS	Number of right-hand sides, equal to the number of columns of the matrix B. NRHS 0.
xA	Upper or lower triangular matrix A. The dimension of xA is (N × N + N) / 2.
xB	On entry, the N×NRHS right-hand side matrix B. On exit, the N×NRHS solution matrix X.
LDB	Leading dimension of the array B as specified in a dimension or type statement. LDB max(1, N).
INFO	On exit:
	INFO = 0	Subroutine completed normally.
	INFO < 0	The ith argument, where i = |INFO|, had an illegal value.
	INFO > 0	The ith diagonal element, where i = INFO, of A is zero. The matrix is therefore singular and the solution could not be computed.
