+Parameters
+----------
+A : {sparse matrix, dense matrix, LinearOperator}
+    The N-by-N matrix of the linear system.
+b : {array, matrix}
+    Right hand side of the linear system. Has shape (N,) or (N,1).
 
-    A --   An array or an object with matvec(x) and rmatvec(x) methods
-           to represent A * x and A^H * x respectively.  May also have
-           psolve(b) and rpsolve(b) methods for representing solutions
-           to the preconditioning equations M * x = b and
-           M^H * x = b respectively.
-    b --   An n-length vector
+Optional Parameters
+-------------------
+x0  : {array, matrix}
+    Starting guess for the solution.
+tol : float
+    Relative tolerance to achieve before terminating.
+maxiter : integer
+    Maximum number of iterations.  Iteration will stop after maxiter
+    steps even if the specified tolerance has not been achieved.
+M : {sparse matrix, dense matrix, LinearOperator}
+    Preconditioner for A.  The preconditioner should approximate the 
+    inverse of A.  Effective preconditioning dramatically improves the
+    rate of convergence, which implies that fewer iterations are needed
+    to reach a given error tolerance.
+callback : function
+    User-supplied function to call after each iteration.  It is called
+    as callback(xk), where xk is the current solution vector.

+x : {array, matrix}

+info : integer
