NAME
     SGEQLF - compute a QL factorization of a real M-by-N matrix A

SYNOPSIS
     SUBROUTINE SGEQLF( M, N, A, LDA, TAU, WORK, LWORK, INFO )

         INTEGER        INFO, LDA, LWORK, M, N

         REAL           A( LDA, * ), TAU( * ), WORK( * )

IMPLEMENTATION
     These routines are part of the SCSL Scientific Library and can be loaded
     using either the -lscs or the -lscs_mp option.  The -lscs_mp option
     directs the linker to use the multi-processor version of the library.

     When linking to SCSL with -lscs or -lscs_mp, the default integer size is
     4 bytes (32 bits). Another version of SCSL is available in which integers
     are 8 bytes (64 bits).  This version allows the user access to larger
     memory sizes and helps when porting legacy Cray codes.  It can be loaded
     by using the -lscs_i8 option or the -lscs_i8_mp option. A program may use
     only one of the two versions; 4-byte integer and 8-byte integer library
     calls cannot be mixed.

PURPOSE
     SGEQLF computes a QL factorization of a real M-by-N matrix A: A = Q * L.


ARGUMENTS
     M       (input) INTEGER
             The number of rows of the matrix A.  M >= 0.

     N       (input) INTEGER
             The number of columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

     A       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
             On entry, the M-by-N matrix A.  On exit, if m >= n, the lower
             triangle of the subarray A(m-n+1:m,1:n) contains the N-by-N lower
             triangular matrix L; if m <= n, the elements on and below the
             (n-m)-th superdiagonal contain the M-by-N lower trapezoidal
             matrix L; the remaining elements, 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,M).

     TAU     (output) REAL array, dimension (min(M,N))
             The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors (see Further
             Details).

     WORK    (workspace/output) REAL array, dimension (LWORK)
             On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
     LWORK   (input) INTEGER
             The dimension of the array WORK.  LWORK >= max(1,N).  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
     The matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors

        Q = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1), where k = min(m,n).

     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(m-k+i+1:m) = 0 and v(m-k+i) = 1; v(1:m-k+i-1) is stored on exit in
     A(1:m-k+i-1,n-k+i), and tau in TAU(i).
