+.SH NAME
+bsearch \- binary search of a sorted array
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <stdlib.h>
+.PP
+.BI "void *bsearch(const void " key [. size "], \
+const void " base [. size " * ." nmemb ],
+.BI "              size_t " nmemb ", size_t " size ,
+.BI "              int (*" compar ")(const void [." size "], \
+const void [." size ]));
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR bsearch ()
+function searches an array of
+.I nmemb
+objects,
+the initial member of which is pointed to by
+.IR base ,
+for a member
+that matches the object pointed to by
+.IR key .
+The size of each member
+of the array is specified by
+.IR size .
+.PP
+The contents of the array should be in ascending sorted order according
+to the comparison function referenced by
+.IR compar .
+The
+.I compar
+routine is expected to have two arguments which point to the
+.I key
+object and to an array member, in that order, and should return an integer
+less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the
+.I key
+object is found,
+respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than the array
+member.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR bsearch ()
+function returns a pointer to a matching member of the
+array, or NULL if no match is found.
+If there are multiple elements that
+match the key, the element returned is unspecified.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).

+.SH EXAMPLES
+The example below first sorts an array of structures using
+.BR qsort (3),
+then retrieves desired elements using
+.BR bsearch ().
