Low-level BLAS functions (:mod:`scipy.linalg.blas`)
===================================================

This module contains low-level functions from the BLAS library.

.. versionadded:: 0.12.0

.. note::

   The common ``overwrite_<>`` option in many routines, allows the
   input arrays to be overwritten to avoid extra memory allocation.
   However this requires the array to satisfy two conditions
   which are memory order and the data type to match exactly the
   order and the type expected by the routine.

   As an example, if you pass a double precision float array to any
   ``S....`` routine which expects single precision arguments, f2py
   will create an intermediate array to match the argument types and
   overwriting will be performed on that intermediate array.

   Similarly, if a C-contiguous array is passed, f2py will pass a
   FORTRAN-contiguous array internally. Please make sure that these
   details are satisfied. More information can be found in the f2py
   documentation.

.. warning::

   These functions do little to no error checking.
   It is possible to cause crashes by mis-using them,
   so prefer using the higher-level routines in `scipy.linalg`.

    Arrays are used to determine the optimal prefix of BLAS routines.

    Parameters
    ----------
    names : str or sequence of str
        Name(s) of BLAS functions without type prefix.

    arrays : sequence of ndarrays, optional
        Arrays can be given to determine optimal prefix of BLAS
        routines. If not given, double-precision routines will be
        used, otherwise the most generic type in arrays will be used.

    dtype : str or dtype, optional

    Returns
    -------
    funcs : list
        List containing the found function(s).


    Notes
    -----
    This routine automatically chooses between Fortran/C
    interfaces. Fortran code is used whenever possible for arrays with
    column major order. In all other cases, C code is preferred.

    In BLAS, the naming convention is that all functions start with a
    type prefix, which depends on the type of the principal
    matrix. These can be one of {'s', 'd', 'c', 'z'} for the numpy
    types {float32, float64, complex64, complex128} respectively.
    The code and the dtype are stored in attributes `typecode` and `dtype`
    of the returned functions.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> import scipy.linalg as LA
    >>> a = np.random.rand(3,2)
    >>> x_gemv = LA.get_blas_funcs('gemv', (a,))
    >>> x_gemv.typecode
    'd'
    >>> x_gemv = LA.get_blas_funcs('gemv',(a*1j,))
    >>> x_gemv.typecode
