PURPOSE

     zposv computes the solution to a complex  system  of  linear
     equations
        A * X = B, where A is an N-by-N Hermitian positive defin-
     ite matrix and X and B are N-by-NRHS matrices.
     The Cholesky decomposition is used to factor A as
        A = U**H* U,  if UPLO = 'U', or
        A = L * L**H,  if UPLO = 'L',
     where U is an upper triangular matrix and  L is a lower tri-
     angular  matrix.   The  factored  form  of A is then used to
     solve the system of equations A * X = B.

ARGUMENTS

     UPLO (input)
               = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
               = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

     N (input) The number of linear equations, i.e., the order of
               the matrix A.  N >= 0.

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

     A (input/output)
               On entry, the Hermitian matrix A.  If UPLO =  'U',
               the leading N-by-N upper triangular part of A con-
               tains 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 tri-
               angular 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**H*U or A = L*L**H.

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

     B (input/output)
               On entry, the N-by-NRHS right hand side matrix  B.
               On  exit,  if  INFO  =  0,  the N-by-NRHS solution
               matrix X.

     LDB (input)
               The leading dimension of  the  array  B.   LDB  >=
               max(1,N).
     INFO (output)
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an ille-
               gal value
               > 0:  if INFO = i, the leading minor of order i of
               A  is  not positive definite, so the factorization
               could not be completed, and the solution  has  not
               been computed.
