!>
!> SPOTRF computes the Cholesky factorization of a real symmetric
!> positive definite matrix A.
!>
!> The factorization has the form
!>    A = U**T * U,  if UPLO = 'U', or
!>    A = L  * L**T,  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.
!> 

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.
!> 

A

!>          A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
!>          On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading
!>          N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper
!>          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower
!>          triangular part of A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the
!>          leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower
!>          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper
!>          triangular part of A is not referenced.
!>
!>          On exit, if INFO = 0, the factor U or L from the Cholesky
!>          factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T.
!> 

LDA

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

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.
