.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
BLAS are defined by three papers: Basic linear algebra subprograms for {FORTRAN} usage, Lawson et al, 1979\&. An extended set of {FORTRAN} basic linear algebra subprograms, Dongarra et al, 1988\&. A set of level 3 basic linear algebra subprograms, Dongarra et al, 1990\&. Some BLAS-like routines (e\&.g\&., csymv, crot, csum1, icmax1) exist in LAPACK rather than the classic BLAS\&. These were extended by the Extra Precision BLAS (XBLAS, not documented here) https://www.netlib.org/xblas/
