# dlacpy.f(3)

## NAME

SRC/dlacpy.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **dlacpy** (uplo, m, n, a, lda, b, ldb)\
 **DLACPY** copies all or part of one two-dimensional array to another.

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine dlacpy (character uplo, integer m, integer n, double precision, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, double precision, dimension( ldb, \* ) b, integer ldb)

**DLACPY** copies all or part of one two-dimensional array to another.

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> DLACPY copies all or part of a two-dimensional matrix A to another
!> matrix B.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*UPLO*

```
!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>          Specifies the part of the matrix A to be copied to B.
!>          = 'U':      Upper triangular part
!>          = 'L':      Lower triangular part
!>          Otherwise:  All of the matrix A
!>
```

*M*

```
!>          M is INTEGER
!>          The number of rows of the matrix A.  M >= 0.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The number of columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
!>
```

*A*

```
!>          A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
!>          The m by n matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', only the upper triangle
!>          or trapezoid is accessed; if UPLO = 'L', only the lower
!>          triangle or trapezoid is accessed.
!>
```

*LDA*

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

*B*

```
!>          B is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDB,N)
!>          On exit, B = A in the locations specified by UPLO.
!>
```

*LDB*

```
!>          LDB is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array B.  LDB >= max(1,M).
!>
```
