5  Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the number of elements in $x$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

2:    $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – const IntegerInput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{n}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right)$.

On entry: the $n$-element vector $x$.

If $\mathbf{incx}>0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{incx}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incx}<0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[\left(\mathbf{n}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If $\mathbf{n}=0$, x is not referenced and may be NULL.

3:    $\mathbf{incx}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of $x$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{incx}\ne 0$.

4:    $\mathbf{k}$ – Integer *Output

On exit: $k$, the index, from the set $\left\{0,1,\dots ,\mathbf{n}-1\right\}$, of the largest component of $x$. If $\mathbf{n}=0$ on input then k is returned as $-1$.

5:    $\mathbf{i}$ – Integer *Output

On exit: $i$, the largest component of $x$. If $\mathbf{n}=0$ on input then i is returned as $0$.

6:    $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
