!> ZHPTRF computes the factorization of a complex Hermitian packed
!> matrix A using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method:
!>
!>    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.
!> 

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.
!> 

AP

!>          AP is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
!>          On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian matrix
!>          A, packed columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column of A
!>          is stored in the array AP as follows:
!>          if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;
!>          if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.
!>
!>          On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used
!>          to obtain the factor U or L, stored as a packed triangular
!>          matrix overwriting A (see below for further details).
!> 

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.
!> 

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.
