PURPOSE

     sgerfs improves the computed solution to a system of  linear
     equations and provides error bounds and backward error esti-
     mates for the solution.

ARGUMENTS

     TRANSA (input)
               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 = Tran-
               spose)

               TRANSA is defaulted to 'N' for F95 INTERFACE.

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

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

     A (input) The original N-by-N matrix A.

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

     AF (input)
               The factors L and U from  the  factorization  A  =
               P*L*U as computed by SGETRF.

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

     IPIVOT (input)
               The pivot indices from SGETRF; for 1<=i<=N, row  i
               of the matrix was interchanged with row IPIVOT(i).

     B (input) The right hand side matrix B.

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

     X (input/output)
               On entry, the solution matrix X,  as  computed  by
               SGETRS.  On exit, the improved solution matrix X.

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

     FERR (output)
               The estimated forward error bound for  each  solu-
               tion  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  ele-
               ment 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)
               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)
               dimension(3*N)

     WORK2 (workspace)
               dimension(N)
     INFO (output)
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an ille-
               gal value
