    *  Purpose
    *  =======
    *
    *  CHECON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a complex
    *  Hermitian matrix A using the factorization A = U*D*U**H or
    *  A = L*D*L**H computed by CHETRF.
    *
    *  An estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A)), and the reciprocal of the
    *  condition number is computed as RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))).
    *
    *  Arguments
    *  =========
    *
    *  UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
    *          Specifies whether the details of the factorization are stored
    *          as an upper or lower triangular matrix.
    *          = 'U':  Upper triangular, form is A = U*D*U**H;
    *          = 'L':  Lower triangular, form is A = L*D*L**H.
    *
    *  N       (input) INTEGER
    *          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
    *
    *  A       (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
    *          The block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used to
    *          obtain the factor U or L as computed by CHETRF.
    *
    *  LDA     (input) INTEGER
    *          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
    *
    *  IPIV    (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
    *          Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D
    *          as determined by CHETRF.
    *
    *  ANORM   (input) REAL
    *          The 1-norm of the original matrix A.
    *
    *  RCOND   (output) REAL
    *          The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A,
    *          computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where AINVNM is an
    *          estimate of the 1-norm of inv(A) computed in this routine.
    *
    *  WORK    (workspace) COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)
    *
    *  INFO    (output) INTEGER
    *          = 0:  successful exit
    *          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
