*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  SSYMV  performs the matrix-vector  operation
*
*     y := alpha*A*x + beta*y,
*
*  where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are n element vectors and
*  A is an n by n symmetric matrix.
*
*  Parameters
*  ==========
*
*  UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
*           On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower
*           triangular part of the array A is to be referenced as
*           follows:
*
*              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the upper triangular part of A
*                                  is to be referenced.
*
*              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the lower triangular part of A
*                                  is to be referenced.
*
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  N      - INTEGER.
*           On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A.
*           N must be at least zero.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  ALPHA  - REAL            .
*           On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  A      - REAL             array of DIMENSION ( LDA, n ).
*           Before entry with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by n
*           upper triangular part of the array A must contain the upper
*           triangular part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly
*           lower triangular part of A is not referenced.
*           Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading n by n
*           lower triangular part of the array A must contain the lower
*           triangular part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly
*           upper triangular part of A is not referenced.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  LDA    - INTEGER.
*           On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared
*           in the calling (sub) program. LDA must be at least
*           max( 1, n ).
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  X      - REAL             array of dimension at least
*           ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).
*           Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the n
*           element vector x.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  INCX   - INTEGER.
*           On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of
*           X. INCX must not be zero.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  BETA   - REAL            .
*           On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. When BETA is
*           supplied as zero then Y need not be set on input.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  Y      - REAL             array of dimension at least
*           ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ).
*           Before entry, the incremented array Y must contain the n
*           element vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the updated
*           vector y.
*
*  INCY   - INTEGER.
*           On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of
*           Y. INCY must not be zero.
*           Unchanged on exit.
