-.BI "void tdestroy(void *" root ", void (*" free_node ")(void *" nodep )); -.fi -.SH DESCRIPTION -.BR tsearch (), -.BR tfind (), -.BR twalk (), -and -.BR tdelete () -manage a -binary search tree. -They are generalized from Knuth (6.2.2) Algorithm T. -The first field in each node of the tree is a pointer to the -corresponding data item. -(The calling program must store the actual data.) -.I compar -points to a comparison routine, which takes -pointers to two items. -It should return an integer which is negative, -zero, or positive, depending on whether the first item is less than, -equal to, or greater than the second. -.P -.BR tsearch () -searches the tree for an item. -.I key -points to the item to be searched for. -.I rootp -points to a variable which points to the root of the tree. -If the tree is empty, -then the variable that -.I rootp -points to should be set to NULL. -If the item is found in the tree, then -.BR tsearch () -returns a pointer -to the corresponding tree node. -(In other words, -.BR tsearch () -returns a pointer to a pointer to the data item.) -If the item is not found, then -.BR tsearch () -adds it, and returns a -pointer to the corresponding tree node. -.P -.BR tfind () -is like -.BR tsearch (), -except that if the item is not -found, then -.BR tfind () -returns NULL. -.P -.BR tdelete () -deletes an item from the tree. -Its arguments are the same as for -.BR tsearch (). -.P -.BR twalk () -performs depth-first, left-to-right traversal of a binary -tree. -.I root -points to the starting node for the traversal. -If that node is not the root, then only part of the tree will be visited. -.BR twalk () -calls the user function -.I action -each time a node is -visited (that is, three times for an internal node, and once for a -leaf). -.IR action , -in turn, takes three arguments. -The first argument is a pointer to the node being visited. -The structure of the node is unspecified, -but it is possible to cast the pointer to a pointer-to-pointer-to-element -in order to access the element stored within the node. -The application must not modify the structure pointed to by this argument. -The second argument is an integer which -takes one of the values -.BR preorder , -.BR postorder , -or -.B endorder -depending on whether this is the first, second, or -third visit to the internal node, -or the value -.B leaf -if this is the single visit to a leaf node. -(These symbols are defined in -.IR <search.h> .) -The third argument is the depth of the node; -the root node has depth zero. -.P -(More commonly, -.BR preorder , -.BR postorder , -and -.B endorder -are known as -.BR preorder , -.BR inorder , -and -.BR postorder : -before visiting the children, after the first and before the second, -and after visiting the children. -Thus, the choice of name -.B post\%order -is rather confusing.) -.P -.BR twalk_r () -is similar to -.BR twalk (), -but instead of the -.I depth -argument, the -.I closure -argument pointer is passed to each invocation of the action callback, -unchanged. -This pointer can be used to pass information to and from -the callback function in a thread-safe fashion, without resorting -to global variables. -.P -.BR tdestroy () -removes the whole tree pointed to by -.IR root , -freeing all resources allocated by the -.BR tsearch () -function. -For the data in each tree node the function -.I free_node -is called. -The pointer to the data is passed as the argument to the function. -If no such work is necessary, -.I free_node -must point to a function -doing nothing. -.SH RETURN VALUE -.BR tsearch () -returns a pointer to a matching node in the tree, or to -the newly added node, or NULL if there was insufficient memory -to add the item. -.BR tfind () -returns a pointer to the node, or -NULL if no match is found. -If there are multiple items that match the key, -the item whose node is returned is unspecified. -.P -.BR tdelete () -returns a pointer to the parent of the node deleted, or -NULL if the item was not found. -If the deleted node was the root node, -.BR tdelete () -returns a dangling pointer that must not be accessed. -.P -.BR tsearch (), -.BR tfind (), -and -.BR tdelete () -also -return NULL if -.I rootp -was NULL on entry. -.SH ATTRIBUTES -For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see -.BR attributes (7). -.TS -allbox;
