QSORT(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  QSORT(3)



NAME
       qsort - sorts an array

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  qsort()  function  sorts  an array with nmemb elements of size size.  The base
       argument points to the start of the array.

       The contents of the array are sorted in ascending order according to  a  comparison
       function pointed to by compar, which is called with two arguments that point to the
       objects being compared.

       The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than
       zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or
       greater than the second.  If two members compare  as  equal,  their  order  in  the
       sorted array is undefined.

RETURN VALUE
       The qsort() function returns no value.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C99.

NOTE
       Library  routines  suitable  for  use  as the compar argument include strcmp() (see
       below), alphasort(), and versionsort().

EXAMPLE
       For one example of use, see the example under bsearch(3).

       Another example is the following example program, which sorts the strings given  in
       its command-line arguments:

       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>
       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <string.h>
       #include <assert.h>

       static int
       cmpstringp(const void *p1, const void *p2)
       {
           /* The actual arguments to this function are "pointers to
              pointers to char", but strcmp() arguments are "pointers
              to char", hence the following cast plus dereference */

           return strcmp(* (char * const *) p1, * (char * const *) p2);
       }

       int
       main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
           int j;

           assert(argc > 1);

           qsort(&argv[1], argc - 1, sizeof(char *), cmpstringp);

           for (j = 1; j < argc; j++)
               puts(argv[j]);
           exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
