*     .. Scalar Arguments ..
      INTEGER            INCX, N
      REAL               ALPHA, TAU
*     ..
*     .. Array Arguments ..
      REAL               X( * )
*     ..
*
*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  SLARFG generates a real elementary reflector H of order n, such
*  that
*
*        H * ( alpha ) = ( beta ),   H' * H = I.
*            (   x   )   (   0  )
*
*  where alpha and beta are scalars, and x is an (n-1)-element real
*  vector. H is represented in the form
*
*        H = I - tau * ( 1 ) * ( 1 v' ) ,
*                      ( v )
*
*  where tau is a real scalar and v is a real (n-1)-element
*  vector.
*
*  If the elements of x are all zero, then tau = 0 and H is taken to be
*  the unit matrix.
*
*  Otherwise  1 <= tau <= 2.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  N       (input) INTEGER
*          The order of the elementary reflector.
*
*  ALPHA   (input/output) REAL
*          On entry, the value alpha.
*          On exit, it is overwritten with the value beta.
*
*  X       (input/output) REAL array, dimension
*                         (1+(N-2)*abs(INCX))
*          On entry, the vector x.
*          On exit, it is overwritten with the vector v.
*
*  INCX    (input) INTEGER
*          The increment between elements of X. INCX > 0.
*
*  TAU     (output) REAL
*          The value tau.
