**ZLAROT**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!>    ZLAROT applies a (Givens) rotation to two adjacent rows or
!>    columns, where one element of the first and/or last column/row
!>    for use on matrices stored in some format other than GE, so
!>    that elements of the matrix may be used or modified for which
!>    no array element is provided.
!>
!>    One example is a symmetric matrix in SB format (bandwidth=4), for
!>    which UPLO='L':  Two adjacent rows will have the format:
!>
!>    row j:     C> C> C> C> C> .  .  .  .
!>    row j+1:      C> C> C> C> C> .  .  .  .
!>
!>    '*' indicates elements for which storage is provided,
!>    '.' indicates elements for which no storage is provided, but
!>    are not necessarily zero; their values are determined by
!>    symmetry.  ' ' indicates elements which are necessarily zero,
!>     and have no storage provided.
!>
!>    Those columns which have two '*'s can be handled by DROT.
!>    Those columns which have no '*'s can be ignored, since as long
!>    as the Givens rotations are carefully applied to preserve
!>    symmetry, their values are determined.
!>    Those columns which have one '*' have to be handled separately,
!>    by using separate variables  and :
!>
!>    row j:     C> C> C> C> C> p  .  .  .
!>    row j+1:   q  C> C> C> C> C> .  .  .  .
!>
!>    The element p would have to be set correctly, then that column
!>    is rotated, setting p to its new value.  The next call to
!>    ZLAROT would rotate columns j and j+1, using p, and restore
!>    symmetry.  The element q would start out being zero, and be
!>    made non-zero by the rotation.  Later, rotations would presumably
!>    be chosen to zero q out.
!>
!>    Typical Calling Sequences: rotating the i-th and (i+1)-st rows.

!>  LROWS  - LOGICAL
!>           If .TRUE., then ZLAROT will rotate two rows.  If .FALSE.,
!>           then it will rotate two columns.
!>           Not modified.
!>
!>  LLEFT  - LOGICAL
!>           If .TRUE., then XLEFT will be used instead of the
!>           corresponding element of A for the first element in the
!>           second row (if LROWS=.FALSE.) or column (if LROWS=.TRUE.)
!>           If .FALSE., then the corresponding element of A will be
!>           used.
!>           Not modified.
!>
!>  LRIGHT - LOGICAL
!>           If .TRUE., then XRIGHT will be used instead of the
!>           corresponding element of A for the last element in the
!>           first row (if LROWS=.FALSE.) or column (if LROWS=.TRUE.) If
!>           .FALSE., then the corresponding element of A will be used.
!>           Not modified.
!>
!>  NL     - INTEGER
!>           The length of the rows (if LROWS=.TRUE.) or columns (if
!>           LROWS=.FALSE.) to be rotated.  If XLEFT and/or XRIGHT are
!>           used, the columns/rows they are in should be included in
!>           NL, e.g., if LLEFT = LRIGHT = .TRUE., then NL must be at
!>           least 2.  The number of rows/columns to be rotated
!>           exclusive of those involving XLEFT and/or XRIGHT may
!>           not be negative, i.e., NL minus how many of LLEFT and
!>           LRIGHT are .TRUE. must be at least zero; if not, XERBLA
!>           will be called.
!>           Not modified.
!>
!>  C, S   - COMPLEX*16
!>           Specify the Givens rotation to be applied.  If LROWS is
!>           true, then the matrix ( c  s )
!>                                 ( _  _ )
!>                                 (-s  c )  is applied from the left;
!>           if false, then the transpose (not conjugated) thereof is
!>           applied from the right.  Note that in contrast to the
!>           output of ZROTG or to most versions of ZROT, both C and S
!>           are complex.  For a Givens rotation, |C|**2 + |S|**2 should
!>           be 1, but this is not checked.
!>           Not modified.
!>
!>  A      - COMPLEX*16 array.
!>           The array containing the rows/columns to be rotated.  The
!>           first element of A should be the upper left element to
!>           be rotated.
!>           Read and modified.
!>
!>  LDA    - INTEGER
!>           The  leading dimension of A.  If A contains
!>           a matrix stored in GE, HE, or SY format, then this is just
!>           the leading dimension of A as dimensioned in the calling
!>           routine.  If A contains a matrix stored in band (GB, HB, or
!>           SB) format, then this should be *one less* than the leading
!>           dimension used in the calling routine.  Thus, if A were
!>           dimensioned A(LDA,*) in ZLAROT, then A(1,j) would be the
!>           j-th element in the first of the two rows to be rotated,
!>           and A(2,j) would be the j-th in the second, regardless of
!>           how the array may be stored in the calling routine.  [A
!>           cannot, however, actually be dimensioned thus, since for
!>           band format, the row number may exceed LDA, which is not
!>           legal FORTRAN.]
!>           If LROWS=.TRUE., then LDA must be at least 1, otherwise
!>           it must be at least NL minus the number of .TRUE. values
!>           in XLEFT and XRIGHT.
!>           Not modified.
!>
!>  XLEFT  - COMPLEX*16
!>           If LLEFT is .TRUE., then XLEFT will be used and modified
!>           instead of A(2,1) (if LROWS=.TRUE.) or A(1,2)
!>           (if LROWS=.FALSE.).
!>           Read and modified.
!>
!>  XRIGHT - COMPLEX*16
!>           If LRIGHT is .TRUE., then XRIGHT will be used and modified
!>           instead of A(1,NL) (if LROWS=.TRUE.) or A(NL,1)
!>           (if LROWS=.FALSE.).
!>           Read and modified.
