.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In search.h
|
|
.Ft void *
|
|
.Fn tdelete "const void * restrict key" "void ** restrict rootp" "int (*compar) (const void *, const void *)"

.Fn tsearch "const void *key" "void **rootp" "int (*compar) (const void *, const void *)"

.Fn twalk "const void *root" "void (*compar) (const void *, VISIT, int)"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tdelete ,
|
|
.Fn tfind ,
|
|
.Fn tsearch ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn twalk
|
|
functions manage binary search trees based on algorithms T and D
|
|
from Knuth (6.2.2).
|
|
The comparison function passed in by
|
|
the user has the same style of return values as
|
|
.Xr strcmp 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn tfind
|
|
searches for the datum matched by the argument
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
in the binary tree rooted at
|
|
.Fa rootp ,
|
|
returning a pointer to the datum if it is found and NULL
|
|
if it is not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn tsearch
|
|
is identical to
|
|
.Fn tfind
|
|
except that if no match is found,
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is inserted into the tree and a pointer to it is returned.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa rootp
|
|
points to a NULL value a new binary search tree is created.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn tdelete
|
|
deletes a node from the specified binary search tree and returns
|
|
a pointer to the parent of the node to be deleted.
|
|
It takes the same arguments as
|
|
.Fn tfind
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn tsearch .
|
|
If the node to be deleted is the root of the binary search tree,
|
|
.Fa rootp
|
|
will be adjusted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn twalk
|
|
walks the binary search tree rooted in
|
|
.fa root
|
|
and calls the function
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
on each node.
|
|
.Fa Action
|
|
is called with three arguments: a pointer to the current node,
|
|
a value from the enum
|
|
.Sy "typedef enum { preorder, postorder, endorder, leaf } VISIT;"
|
|
specifying the traversal type, and a node level (where level
|
|
zero is the root of the tree).
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tsearch
|
|
function returns NULL if allocation of a new node fails (usually
|
|
due to a lack of free memory).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn tfind ,
|
|
.Fn tsearch ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn tdelete
|
|
return NULL if
|
|
.Fa rootp
|
|
is NULL or the datum cannot be found.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn twalk
|
|
function returns no value.
