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.

NRHS


NRHS is INTEGER
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
of the matrix B. NRHS >= 0.

A


A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
A = U**H*U or A = L*L**H, as computed by CPOTRF.

LDA


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

B


B is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
On entry, the right hand side matrix B.
On exit, the solution matrix X.

LDB


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

INFO


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