-The following operations are supported:
+Qrupdate is a linear algebra library for fast updating of QR and Cholesky
+decompositions.
 
-QR rank-1 update (qr1up)
-        Updates the QR factorization after an additive rank-1 update to the
-        original matrix (A = A + u*v'). Works for full & economized 
-        factorization.
-QR column insert (qrinc)
-        Updates the QR factorization after an inserting a column to the
-        original matrix. Works for full & economized factorization.
-QR column delete (qrdec)
-        Updates the QR factorization after an deleting a column from the
-        original matrix. Works for full & economized factorization.
-QR column shift (qrshc)
-        Updates the QR factorization after a circular shift of columns in 
-        the original matrix. Works for full & economized factorization.
-QR row insert (qrinr)
-        Updates the QR factorization after an inserting a row to the
-        original matrix. Works for full factorization only.
-QR row delete (qrder)
-        Updates the QR factorization after an deleting a row from the
-        original matrix. Works for full factorization only.
+Supported operations:
 
-Cholesky rank-1 update (ch1up)
-        Updates the Cholesky factorization after positive rank-1 update
-        A = A + u*u'. 
-Cholesky rank-1 downdate (ch1dn)
-        Updates the Cholesky factorization after positive rank-1 downdate
-        A = A - u*u'. 
-Cholesky symmetric insert (chinx)
-        Updates the Cholesky factorization after a symmetric column/row
-        insertion.
-Cholesky symmetric insert (chdex)
-        Updates the Cholesky factorization after a symmetric column/row
-        deletion.
-Cholesky symmetric shift (chshx)
-        Updates the Cholesky factorization after a symmetric column/row
-        left/right circular shift.
-
-LU rank-1 update (lu1up)
-        Updates the LU factorization after a rank-1 update (A = A + u*v.'). 
-        No pivoting available. Faster than lup1up, but less stable.
-LU pivoted rank-1 update (lup1up)
-        Updates a row-pivoted LUP factorization after a rank-1 update
-        (A = A + u*v.'). Also updates the row permutation matrix. Slower
-        than lu1up, but more stable.
