.SH PURPOSE
ZLAQPS computes a step of QR factorization with column pivoting
of a complex M-by-N matrix A by using Blas-3.  It tries to factorize
NB columns from A starting from the row OFFSET+1, and updates all
of the matrix with Blas-3 xGEMM.
.br

In some cases, due to catastrophic cancellations, it cannot
factorize NB columns.  Hence, the actual number of factorized
columns is returned in KB.
.br

Block A(1:OFFSET,1:N) is accordingly pivoted, but not factorized.

.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP 8
M       (input) INTEGER
The number of rows of the matrix A. M >= 0.
.TP 8
N       (input) INTEGER
The number of columns of the matrix A. N >= 0
.TP 8
OFFSET  (input) INTEGER
The number of rows of A that have been factorized in
previous steps.
.TP 8
NB      (input) INTEGER
The number of columns to factorize.
.TP 8
KB      (output) INTEGER
The number of columns actually factorized.
.TP 8
A       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA,N)
On entry, the M-by-N matrix A.
On exit, block A(OFFSET+1:M,1:KB) is the triangular
.br
factor obtained and block A(1:OFFSET,1:N) has been
accordingly pivoted, but no factorized.
The rest of the matrix, block A(OFFSET+1:M,KB+1:N) has
been updated.
.TP 8
LDA     (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,M).
.TP 8
JPVT    (input/output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
JPVT(I) = K <==> Column K of the full matrix A has been
permuted into position I in AP.
.TP 8
TAU     (output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (KB)
The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors.
.TP 8
VN1     (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
The vector with the partial column norms.
.TP 8
VN2     (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
The vector with the exact column norms.
.TP 8
AUXV    (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (NB)
Auxiliar vector.
.TP 8
F       (input/output) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDF,NB)
Matrix F\(aq = L*Y\(aq*A.
.TP 8
LDF     (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array F. LDF >= max(1,N).
