FUNCTION
|
|
<<bsearch>>---binary search
|
|
|
|
INDEX
|
|
bsearch
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <stdlib.h>
|
|
void *bsearch(const void *<[key]>, const void *<[base]>,
|
|
size_t <[nmemb]>, size_t <[size]>,
|
|
int (*<[compar]>)(const void *, const void *));
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
<<bsearch>> searches an array beginning at <[base]> for any element
|
|
that matches <[key]>, using binary search. <[nmemb]> is the element
|
|
count of the array; <[size]> is the size of each element.
|
|
|
|
The array must be sorted in ascending order with respect to the
|
|
comparison function <[compar]> (which you supply as the last argument of
|
|
<<bsearch>>).
|
|
|
|
You must define the comparison function <<(*<[compar]>)>> to have two
|
|
arguments; its result must be negative if the first argument is
|
|
less than the second, zero if the two arguments match, and
|
|
positive if the first argument is greater than the second (where
|
|
``less than'' and ``greater than'' refer to whatever arbitrary
|
|
ordering is appropriate).
|
|
|
|
RETURNS
|
|
Returns a pointer to an element of <[array]> that matches <[key]>. If
|
|
more than one matching element is available, the result may point to
|
|
any of them.
|
|
|
|
PORTABILITY
|
|
<<bsearch>> is ANSI.
|
|
|
|
No supporting OS subroutines are required.
