Function Documentation

mutt_qsort_r()

void mutt_qsort_r	(	void *	base,
		size_t	nmemb,
		size_t	size,
		sort_t	compar,
		void *	sdata )

Sort an array, where the comparator has access to opaque data rather than requiring global variables.

Parameters

base	Start of the array to be sorted
nmemb	Number of elements in the array
size	Size of each array element
compar	Comparison function, return <0/0/>0 to compare two elements
sdata	Opaque argument to pass to compar

Note

This implementation might not be re-entrant: signal handlers and compar must not call mutt_qsort_r().
