QSORT(3F) UNIX Programmer's Manual QSORT(3F) NAME qsort - quick sort SYNOPSIS subroutine qsort (array, len, isize, compar) external compar integer*2 compar DESCRIPTION One dimensional _a_r_r_a_y contains the elements to be sorted. _l_e_n is the number of elements in the array. _i_s_i_z_e is the size of an element, typically - 4 for integer and real 8 for double precision or complex 16 for double complex (length of character object) for character arrays _C_o_m_p_a_r is the name of a user supplied integer*2 function that will determine the sorting order. This function will be called with 2 arguments that will be elements of _a_r_r_a_y. The function must return - negative if arg 1 is considered to precede arg 2 zero if arg 1 is equivalent to arg 2 positive if arg 1 is considered to follow arg 2 On return, the elements of _a_r_r_a_y will be sorted.
