PURPOSE

  ZGERFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear equations and
  provides error bounds and backward error estimates for the solution.

ARGUMENTS

  TRANS   (input) CHARACTER*1
          Specifies the form of the system of equations:
          = 'N':  A * X = B     (No transpose)
          = 'T':  A**T * X = B  (Transpose)
          = 'C':  A**H * X = B  (Conjugate transpose)

  N       (input) INTEGER
          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

  NRHS    (input) INTEGER
          The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of the
          matrices B and X.  NRHS >= 0.

  A       (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)
          The original N-by-N matrix A.

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

  AF      (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAF,N)
          The factors L and U from the factorization A = P*L*U as computed by
          ZGETRF.

  LDAF    (input) INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array AF.  LDAF >= max(1,N).

  IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
          The pivot indices from ZGETRF; for 1<=i<=N, row i of the matrix was
          interchanged with row IPIV(i).

  B       (input) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
          The right hand side matrix B.

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

  X       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
          On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by ZGETRS.  On exit,
          the improved solution matrix X.

  LDX     (input) INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array X.  LDX >= max(1,N).

  FERR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
          The estimated forward error bound for each solution vector X(j)
          (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).  If XTRUE is the true
          solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j) is an estimated upper bound
          for the magnitude of the largest element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided
          by the magnitude of the largest element in X(j).  The estimate is
          as reliable as the estimate for RCOND, and is almost always a
          slight overestimate of the true error.

  BERR    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NRHS)
          The componentwise relative backward error of each solution vector
          X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in any element of A or B
          that makes X(j) an exact solution).

  WORK    (workspace) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (2*N)

  RWORK   (workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)

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

PARAMETERS

  ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
