23 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
---|
24 | .B Qsort
|
---|
25 | is an implementation of the quicker-sort algorithm.
|
---|
26 | The first argument is a pointer to the base of the data;
|
---|
27 | the second is the number of elements;
|
---|
28 | the third is the width of an element in bytes;
|
---|
29 | the last is the name of the comparison routine
|
---|
30 | to be called with two arguments which are pointers
|
---|
31 | to the elements being compared.
|
---|
32 | The routine must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than 0
|
---|
33 | according as the first argument is to be considered
|
---|
34 | less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
