+ * Searches an array of nmemb members, the initial member of which is pointed

+ * than, equal to or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be

+FUNCTION
+<<bsearch>>---binary search
+
+INDEX
+	bsearch
+
+ANSI_SYNOPSIS
+	#include <stdlib.h>
+	void *bsearch(const void *<[key]>, const void *<[base]>,
+		size_t <[nmemb]>, size_t <[size]>,
+		int (*<[compar]>)(const void *, const void *));
+
+TRAD_SYNOPSIS
+	#include <stdlib.h>
+	char *bsearch(<[key]>, <[base]>, <[nmemb]>, <[size]>, <[compar]>)
+	char *<[key]>;
+	char *<[base]>;
+	size_t <[nmemb]>, <[size]>;
+	int (*<[compar]>)();
+
+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.
