## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

### subroutine ctbtrs (character uplo, character trans, character diag, integer n, integer kd, integer nrhs, complex, dimension( ldab, \* ) ab, integer ldab, complex, dimension( ldb, \* ) b, integer ldb, integer info)

**CTBTRS**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CTBTRS solves a triangular system of the form
!>
!>    A * X = B,  A**T * X = B,  or  A**H * X = B,
!>
!> where A is a triangular band matrix of order N, and B is an N-by-NRHS matrix.
!>
!> This subroutine verifies that A is nonsingular, but callers should note that only exact
!> singularity is detected. It is conceivable for one or more diagonal elements of A to be
!> subnormally tiny numbers without this subroutine signalling an error.
!>
!> If a possible loss of numerical precision due to near-singular matrices is a concern, the
!> caller should verify that A is nonsingular within some tolerance before calling this subroutine.
!>
```
