!> ZPFTRF computes the Cholesky factorization of a complex Hermitian
!> positive definite matrix A.
!>
!> The factorization has the form
!>    A = U**H * U,  if UPLO = 'U', or
!>    A = L  * L**H,  if UPLO = 'L',
!> where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is lower triangular.
!>
!> This is the block version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.
!> 

TRANSR

!>          TRANSR is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'N':  The Normal TRANSR of RFP A is stored;
!>          = 'C':  The Conjugate-transpose TRANSR of RFP A is stored.
!> 

UPLO

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

N

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

A

!>          A is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension ( N*(N+1)/2 );
!>          On entry, the Hermitian matrix A in RFP format. RFP format is
!>          described by TRANSR, UPLO, and N as follows: If TRANSR = 'N'
!>          then RFP A is (0:N,0:k-1) when N is even; k=N/2. RFP A is
!>          (0:N-1,0:k) when N is odd; k=N/2. IF TRANSR = 'C' then RFP is
!>          the Conjugate-transpose of RFP A as defined when
!>          TRANSR = 'N'. The contents of RFP A are defined by UPLO as
!>          follows: If UPLO = 'U' the RFP A contains the nt elements of
!>          upper packed A. If UPLO = 'L' the RFP A contains the elements
!>          of lower packed A. The LDA of RFP A is (N+1)/2 when TRANSR =
!>          'C'. When TRANSR is 'N' the LDA is N+1 when N is even and N
!>          is odd. See the Note below for more details.
!>
!>          On exit, if INFO = 0, the factor U or L from the Cholesky
!>          factorization RFP A = U**H*U or RFP A = L*L**H.
!> 

INFO

!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
!>          > 0:  if INFO = i, the leading principal minor of order i
!>                is not positive, and the factorization could not be
!>                completed.

!>  three columns of AP lower. The upper triangle A(0:2,0:2) consists of
!>  conjugate-transpose of the last three columns of AP lower.
!>  To denote conjugate we place -- above the element. This covers the
