The array contents 38 should be sorted in ascending order according to the @var{compar} 39 comparison function. This routine should take two arguments pointing to 40 the @var{key} and to an array member, in that order, and should return an 41 integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the @var{key} object 42 is respectively less than, matching, or greater than the array member. 43 44 @end deftypefn 45 46 */ 47 48 #include "config.h" 49 #include "ansidecl.h" 50 #include <sys/types.h> /* size_t */ 51 #include <stdio.h> 52 53 /* 54 * Perform a binary search. 55 * 56 * The code below is a bit sneaky.
