 NAME
      CHER - perform the hermitian rank 1 operation   A :=
      alpha*x*conjg( x' ) + A,

 SYNOPSIS
      SUBROUTINE CHER ( UPLO, N, ALPHA, X, INCX, A, LDA )

          REAL        ALPHA

          INTEGER     INCX, LDA, N

          CHARACTER*1 UPLO

          COMPLEX     A( LDA, * ), X( * )

 PURPOSE
      CHER   performs the hermitian rank 1 operation

      where alpha is a real scalar, x is an n element vector and A
      is an n by n hermitian matrix.

 PARAMETERS
      UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
             On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower
             triangular part of the array A is to be referenced as
             follows:

             UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the upper triangular part of
             A is to be referenced.

             UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the lower triangular part of
             A is to be referenced.

             Unchanged on exit.

      N      - INTEGER.
             On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A.  N
             must be at least zero.  Unchanged on exit.

      ALPHA  - REAL            .
             On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
             Unchanged on exit.

      X      - COMPLEX          array of dimension at least
             ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).  Before entry, the
             incremented array X must contain the n element vector
             x.  Unchanged on exit.

      INCX   - INTEGER.
             On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the ele-
             ments of X. INCX must not be zero.  Unchanged on

             exit.

      A      - COMPLEX          array of DIMENSION ( LDA, n ).
             Before entry with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n
             by n upper triangular part of the array A must con-
             tain the upper triangular part of the hermitian
             matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of A is
             not referenced. On exit, the upper triangular part of
             the array A is overwritten by the upper triangular
             part of the updated matrix.  Before entry with UPLO =
             'L' or 'l', the leading n by n lower triangular part
             of the array A must contain the lower triangular part
             of the hermitian matrix and the strictly upper tri-
             angular part of A is not referenced. On exit, the
             lower triangular part of the array A is overwritten
             by the lower triangular part of the updated matrix.
             Note that the imaginary parts of the diagonal ele-
             ments need not be set, they are assumed to be zero,
             and on exit they are set to zero.

      LDA    - INTEGER.
             On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as
             declared in the calling (sub) program. LDA must be at
             least max( 1, n ).  Unchanged on exit.

             Level 2 Blas routine.
