 `CudssMatrix` is a wrapper for `CuVector`, `CuMatrix` and `CuSparseMatrixCSR`.
 `CudssMatrix` is used to pass matrix of the linear system, as well as solution and right-hand side.
 
 `structure` specifies the stucture for sparse matrices:
-- `'G'` or `"G"`: General matrix -- LDU factorization;
-- `'S'` or `"S"`: Real symmetric matrix -- LDLᵀ factorization;
-- `'H'` or `"H"`: Complex Hermitian matrix -- LDLᴴ factorization;
+- `"G"`: General matrix -- LDU factorization;
+- `"S"`: Real symmetric matrix -- LDLᵀ factorization;
+- `"H"`: Complex Hermitian matrix -- LDLᴴ factorization;
 - `"SPD"`: Symmetric positive-definite matrix -- LLᵀ factorization;
 - `"HPD"`: Hermitian positive-definite matrix -- LLᴴ factorization.

 `CudssSolver` contains all structures required to solve linear systems with cuDSS.
 One constructor of `CudssSolver` takes as input the same parameters as [`CudssMatrix`](@ref).
