*> \par Purpose:
*  =============
*>
*> \verbatim
*>
*> SLARFG generates a real elementary reflector H of order n, such
*> that
*>
*>       H * ( alpha ) = ( beta ),   H**T * 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**T ) ,
*>                     ( 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.
*> \endverbatim
*
*  Arguments:
*  ==========
*
*> \param[in] N

*>          N is INTEGER
*>          The order of the elementary reflector.

*> \verbatim
*>          ALPHA is REAL
*>          On entry, the value alpha.
*>          On exit, it is overwritten with the value beta.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in,out] X
*> \verbatim
*>          X is REAL array, dimension
*>                         (1+(N-2)*abs(INCX))
*>          On entry, the vector x.
*>          On exit, it is overwritten with the vector v.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] INCX
*> \verbatim
*>          INCX is INTEGER
*>          The increment between elements of X. INCX > 0.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[out] TAU
*> \verbatim
*>          TAU is REAL
*>          The value tau.
