**CPTTRS**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CPTTRS solves a tridiagonal system of the form
!>    A * X = B
!> using the factorization A = U**H*D*U or A = L*D*L**H computed by CPTTRF.
!> D is a diagonal matrix specified in the vector D, U (or L) is a unit
!> bidiagonal matrix whose superdiagonal (subdiagonal) is specified in
!> the vector E, and X and B are N by NRHS matrices.
!>
```

!>          U or the subdiagonal of the lower bidiagonal factor L.
!>          = 'U':  A = U**H*D*U, E is the superdiagonal of U
