double precision function dlamch (cmach)
DLAMCH real function slamch (cmach)
SLAMCH

DLAMCH

Purpose:

!>
!> DLAMCH determines double precision machine parameters.
!> 

Parameters

CMACH
!>          CMACH is CHARACTER*1
!>          Specifies the value to be returned by DLAMCH:
!>          = 'E' or 'e',   DLAMCH := eps
!>          = 'S' or 's ,   DLAMCH := sfmin
!>          = 'B' or 'b',   DLAMCH := base
!>          = 'P' or 'p',   DLAMCH := eps*base
!>          = 'N' or 'n',   DLAMCH := t
!>          = 'R' or 'r',   DLAMCH := rnd
!>          = 'M' or 'm',   DLAMCH := emin
!>          = 'U' or 'u',   DLAMCH := rmin
!>          = 'L' or 'l',   DLAMCH := emax
!>          = 'O' or 'o',   DLAMCH := rmax
!>          where
!>          eps   = relative machine precision
!>          sfmin = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow
!>          base  = base of the machine
!>          prec  = eps*base
!>          t     = number of (base) digits in the mantissa
!>          rnd   = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise
