37Performs a search over an array of @var{nmemb} elements pointed to by
38@var{base} for a member that matches the object pointed to by @var{key}.
39The size of each member is specified by @var{size}. The array contents
40should be sorted in ascending order according to the @var{compar}
41comparison function. This routine should take two arguments pointing to
42the @var{key} and to an array member, in that order, and should return an
43integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the @var{key} object
44is respectively less than, matching, or greater than the array member.

56 * Perform a binary search.

58 * The code below is a bit sneaky. After a comparison fails, we
59 * divide the work in half by moving either left or right. If lim
60 * is odd, moving left simply involves halving lim: e.g., when lim
61 * is 5 we look at item 2, so we change lim to 2 so that we will
62 * look at items 0 & 1. If lim is even, the same applies. If lim
63 * is odd, moving right again involes halving lim, this time moving
64 * the base up one item past p: e.g., when lim is 5 we change base
65 * to item 3 and make lim 2 so that we will look at items 3 and 4.
66 * If lim is even, however, we have to shrink it by one before
67 * halving: e.g., when lim is 4, we still looked at item 2, so we
68 * have to make lim 3, then halve, obtaining 1, so that we will only
69 * look at item 3.
