qsort - sort a table of data
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <stdlib.h>
void qsort(void *
base, size_t
nel , size_t
width,
int (*
compar )(const void *, const void *));
The
qsort() function shall sort an array of
nel objects, the
initial element of which is pointed to by
base. The size of each
object, in bytes, is specified by the
width argument. If the
nel
argument has the value zero, the comparison function pointed to by
compar shall not be called and no rearrangement shall take place.
The application shall ensure that the comparison function pointed to by
compar does not alter the contents of the array. The implementation may
reorder elements of the array between calls to the comparison function, but
shall not alter the contents of any individual element.
When the same objects (consisting of width bytes, irrespective of their current
positions in the array) are passed more than once to the comparison function,
the results shall be consistent with one another. That is, they shall define a
total ordering on the array.
The contents of the array shall be sorted in ascending order according to a
comparison function. The
compar argument is a pointer to the comparison
function, which is called with two arguments that point to the elements being
compared. The application shall ensure that the function returns an integer
less than, equal to, or greater than 0, if the first argument is considered
respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. If two members
compare as equal, their order in the sorted array is unspecified.
The
qsort() function shall not return a value.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
The comparison function need not compare every byte, so arbitrary data may be
contained in the elements in addition to the values being compared.
The requirement that each argument (hereafter referred to as
p) to the
comparison function is a pointer to elements of the array implies that for
every call, for each argument separately, all of the following expressions are
nonzero:
((char *)p - (char *)base) % width == 0
(char *)p >= (char *)base
(char *)p < (char *)base + nel * width
None.
