## 5Arguments

1: $\mathbf{order}$Nag_OrderType Input
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_ColMajor}$.
2: $\mathbf{uplo}$Nag_UploType Input
On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$
The upper triangular part of $A$ is stored.
${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$
The lower triangular part of $A$ is stored.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$.
3: $\mathbf{trans}$Nag_TransType Input
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$
$B←A$.
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$
$B←{A}^{\mathrm{T}}$.
${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$
$B←{A}^{\mathrm{H}}$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$, $\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$.
4: $\mathbf{diag}$Nag_DiagType Input
On entry: specifies whether $A$ has nonunit or unit diagonal elements.
${\mathbf{diag}}=\mathrm{Nag_NonUnitDiag}$
The diagonal elements are stored explicitly.
${\mathbf{diag}}=\mathrm{Nag_UnitDiag}$
The diagonal elements are assumed to be $1$ and are not referenced.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{diag}}=\mathrm{Nag_NonUnitDiag}$ or $\mathrm{Nag_UnitDiag}$.
5: $\mathbf{n}$Integer Input
On entry: $n$, the order of the matrices $A$ and $B$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.
6: $\mathbf{a}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$const Complex Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{pda}}×{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
On entry: the $n$ by $n$ triangular matrix $A$.
If ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_ColMajor}$, ${A}_{ij}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{a}}\left[\left(j-1\right)×{\mathbf{pda}}+i-1\right]$.
If ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$, ${A}_{ij}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{a}}\left[\left(i-1\right)×{\mathbf{pda}}+j-1\right]$.
If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$, the upper triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$, the lower triangular part of $A$ must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
If ${\mathbf{diag}}=\mathrm{Nag_UnitDiag}$, the diagonal elements of $A$ are assumed to be $1$, and are not referenced.
7: $\mathbf{pda}$Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix $A$ in the array a.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{pda}}\ge \mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
8: $\mathbf{b}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$Complex Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least $\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{pdb}}×{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
On exit: the $n$ by $n$ triangular matrix $B$.
If ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_ColMajor}$, ${B}_{ij}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{b}}\left[\left(j-1\right)×{\mathbf{pdb}}+i-1\right]$.
If ${\mathbf{order}}=\mathrm{Nag_RowMajor}$, ${B}_{ij}$ is stored in ${\mathbf{b}}\left[\left(i-1\right)×{\mathbf{pdb}}+j-1\right]$.
If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$ and ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$ or if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$ and ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$ or ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$, $B$ is upper triangular and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not set.
If ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Lower}$ and ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_NoTrans}$ or if ${\mathbf{uplo}}=\mathrm{Nag_Upper}$ and ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_Trans}$ or ${\mathbf{trans}}=\mathrm{Nag_ConjTrans}$, $B$ is lower triangular and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not set.
9: $\mathbf{pdb}$Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{pdb}}\ge \mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
10: $\mathbf{fail}$NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

## 7Accuracy

The BLAS standard requires accurate implementations which avoid unnecessary over/underflow (see Section 2.7 of Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum (2001)).

## 8Parallelism and Performance

f16tec is not threaded in any implementation.

None.

## 10Example

Initializes a $4$ by $4$ lower triangular matrix $A$ and copies its conjugate transpose to the upper triangular part of $B$.
