    *  Purpose
    *  =======
    *
    *  SSYTRD reduces a real symmetric matrix A to real symmetric
    *  tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation:
    *  Q**T * A * Q = T.
    *
    *  Arguments
    *  =========
    *
    *  UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
    *          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
    *          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
    *
    *  N       (input) INTEGER
    *          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
    *
    *  A       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
    *          On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading
    *          N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains 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
    *          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper
    *          triangular part of A is not referenced.
    *          On exit, if UPLO = 'U', the diagonal and first superdiagonal
    *          of A are overwritten by the corresponding elements of the
    *          tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements above the first
    *          superdiagonal, with the array TAU, represent the orthogonal
    *          matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors; if UPLO
    *          = 'L', the diagonal and first subdiagonal of A are over-
    *          written by the corresponding elements of the tridiagonal
    *          matrix T, and the elements below the first subdiagonal, with
    *          the array TAU, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a product
    *          of elementary reflectors. See Further Details.
    *
    *  LDA     (input) INTEGER
    *          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
    *
    *  D       (output) REAL array, dimension (N)
    *          The diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T:
    *          D(i) = A(i,i).
    *
    *  E       (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
    *          The off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T:
    *          E(i) = A(i,i+1) if UPLO = 'U', E(i) = A(i+1,i) if UPLO = 'L'.
    *
    *  TAU     (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
    *          The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see Further
    *          Details).
    *
    *  WORK    (workspace/output) REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
    *          On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
    *
    *  LWORK   (input) INTEGER
    *          The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK >= 1.
    *          For optimum performance LWORK >= N*NB, where NB is the
    *          optimal blocksize.
    *
    *          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
    *          only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array, returns
    *          this value as the first entry of the WORK array, and no error
    *          message related to LWORK is issued by XERBLA.
    *
    *  INFO    (output) INTEGER
    *          = 0:  successful exit
    *          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
    *
    *  Further Details
    *  ===============
    *
    *  If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
    *  reflectors
    *
    *     Q = H(n-1) . . . H(2) H(1).
    *
    *  Each H(i) has the form
    *
    *     H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
    *
    *  where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
    *  v(i+1:n) = 0 and v(i) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in
    *  A(1:i-1,i+1), and tau in TAU(i).
    *
    *  If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
    *  reflectors
    *
    *     Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(n-1).
    *
    *  Each H(i) has the form
    *
    *     H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
    *
    *  where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
    *  v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is stored on exit in A(i+2:n,i),
    *  and tau in TAU(i).
    *
    *  The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following examples
    *  with n = 5:
    *
    *  if UPLO = 'U':                       if UPLO = 'L':
    *
    *    (  d   e   v2  v3  v4 )              (  d                  )
    *    (      d   e   v3  v4 )              (  e   d              )
    *    (          d   e   v4 )              (  v1  e   d          )
    *    (              d   e  )              (  v1  v2  e   d      )
    *    (                  d  )              (  v1  v2  v3  e   d  )
    *
    *  where d and e denote diagonal and off-diagonal elements of T, and vi
    *  denotes an element of the vector defining H(i).
