DESCRIPTION

       Each of these functions performs an in-place multiplication of two vectors and shifts the result.

       For real data, the following equation is used:

       xz[i] = xz[i] * y[i] * 2**(-shift)

       where i = 0, 1, ..., (n - 1).

       For complex data, the following equation is used:

       tmp	   = xz[2*i]
       xz[2*i]	   = (tmp*y[2*i] - xz[2*i + 1]*y[2*i + 1]) * 2**(-shift)
       xz[2*i + 1] = (tmp*y[2*i + 1] + xz[2*i + 1]*y[2*i]) * 2**(-shift)

       where i = 0, 1, ..., (n - 1).

PARAMETERS

       Each of the functions takes the following arguments:

       xz	       Pointer to the first element of the first source and result vector.

       y	       Pointer to the first element of the second source vector.

       n	       Number of elements in each vector.

       shift	       Right shifting factor.  The ranges of valid shift are:

		       1 <= shift <= 8	 for U8, S8, U8C, S8C types
		       1 <= shift <= 16  for S16, S16C types
		       1 <= shift <= 31  for S32, S32C types

RETURN VALUES

       Each of the functions returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.
