NAME

       search.h - search tables

SYNOPSIS

       #include <search.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The <search.h> header shall define the ENTRY type for structure entry which shall include the following members:

	      char    *key
	      void    *data

       and shall define ACTION and VISIT as enumeration data types through type definitions as follows:

	      enum { FIND, ENTER } ACTION;
	      enum { preorder, postorder, endorder, leaf } VISIT;

       The size_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/types.h> .

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

	      int    hcreate(size_t);
	      void   hdestroy(void);
	      ENTRY *hsearch(ENTRY, ACTION);
	      void   insque(void *, void *);
	      void  *lfind(const void *, const void *, size_t *,
			size_t, int (*)(const void *, const void *));
	      void  *lsearch(const void *, void *, size_t *,
			size_t, int (*)(const void *, const void *));
	      void   remque(void *);
	      void  *tdelete(const void *restrict, void **restrict,
			int(*)(const void *, const void *));
	      void  *tfind(const void *, void *const *,
			int(*)(const void *, const void *));
	      void  *tsearch(const void *, void **,
			int(*)(const void *, const void *));
	      void   twalk(const void *,
			void (*)(const void *, VISIT, int ));
