*  purpose
*  =======
*
*  strsv  solves one of the systems of equations
*
*     a*x = b,   or   a'*x = b,
*
*  where b and x are n element vectors and a is an n by n unit, or
*  non-unit, upper or lower triangular matrix.
*
*  no test for singularity or near-singularity is included in this
*  routine. such tests must be performed before calling this routine.
*
*  parameters
*  ==========
*
*  uplo   - character*1.
*           on entry, uplo specifies whether the matrix is an upper or
*           lower triangular matrix as follows:
*
*              uplo = 'u' or 'u'   a is an upper triangular matrix.
*
*              uplo = 'l' or 'l'   a is a lower triangular matrix.
*
*           unchanged on exit.
*
*  trans  - character*1.
*           on entry, trans specifies the equations to be solved as
*           follows:
*
*              trans = 'n' or 'n'   a*x = b.
*
*              trans = 't' or 't'   a'*x = b.
*
*              trans = 'c' or 'c'   a'*x = b.
*
*           unchanged on exit.
*
*  diag   - character*1.
*           on entry, diag specifies whether or not a is unit
*           triangular as follows:
*
*              diag = 'u' or 'u'   a is assumed to be unit triangular.
*
*              diag = 'n' or 'n'   a is not assumed to be unit
*                                  triangular.
*
*           unchanged on exit.
*
*  n      - integer.
*           on entry, n specifies the order of the matrix a.
*           n must be at least zero.
*           unchanged on exit.
*
*  a      - real             array of dimension ( lda, n ).
*           before entry with  uplo = 'u' or 'u', the leading n by n
*           upper triangular part of the array a must contain the upper
*           triangular matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of
*           a is not referenced.
*           before entry with uplo = 'l' or 'l', the leading n by n
*           lower triangular part of the array a must contain the lower
*           triangular matrix and the strictly upper triangular part of
*           a is not referenced.
*           note that when  diag = 'u' or 'u', the diagonal elements of
*           a are not referenced either, but are assumed to be unity.
*           unchanged on exit.
*
*  lda    - integer.
*           on entry, lda specifies the first dimension of a as declared
*           in the calling (sub) program. lda must be at least
*           max( 1, n ).
*           unchanged on exit.
*
*  x      - real             array of dimension at least
*           ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( incx ) ).
*           before entry, the incremented array x must contain the n
*           element right-hand side vector b. on exit, x is overwritten
*           with the solution vector x.
*
*  incx   - integer.
*           on entry, incx specifies the increment for the elements of
*           x. incx must not be zero.
*           unchanged on exit.
