<!--l. 263--><p class="noindent" >The following naming scheme has been adopted for all the symbols internally defined in
the PSBLAS software package:
<ul class="itemize1">
<li class="itemize">all symbols (i.e. subroutine names, data types...) are prefixed by <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">psb_</span></span></span>

<li class="itemize">all data type names are suffixed by <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span

</li>
<li class="itemize">all constants are suffixed by <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">_</span></span></span>
</li>
<li class="itemize">all top-level subroutine names follow the rule <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">psb_xxname</span></span></span> where <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">xx</span></span></span> can be
either:
<ul class="itemize2">
<li class="itemize"><span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span

</li>
<li class="itemize"><span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span

</li>
<li class="itemize"><span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">cd</span></span></span>: the routine is related to communication descriptor (see&#x00A0;<a

<!--l. 278--><p class="noindent" >For example the <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span

action (see&#x00A0;<a
href="userhtmlse6.html#x40-770006">6<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:toolsrout --></a>) on dense matrices, sparse matrices and communication
descriptors respectively. Interface overloading allows the usage of the same
subroutine names for both real and complex data.</li></ul>

as:
<dl class="description"><dt class="description">
<span

participating in the subroutine call; for output arguments the value is
guaranteed to be the same.

<span
class="cmbx-10">local</span> </dt><dd
