QSORT(3)							      QSORT(3)

NAME
       qsort - quicker sort

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       void *qsort(void *base, size_t nmemb, size_t size,
	    int (*compar)(const void *, const void *))

DESCRIPTION
       Qsort  is  an  implementation of the quicker-sort algorithm.  The first
       argument is a pointer to the base of the data; the second is the number
       of  elements; the third is the size of an element in bytes; the last is
       the name of the comparison routine to  be  called  with	two  arguments
       which  are  pointers  to the elements being compared.  The routine must
       return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than 0	 according  as
       the  first argument is to be considered less than, equal to, or greater
       than the second.
