+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bsearch
+.Nd binary search of a sorted table
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
+.Ft void *
+.Fn bsearch "const void *key" "const void *base" "size_t nmemb" "size_t size" "int (*compar) (const void *, const void *)"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn bsearch
+function searches an array of
+.Fa nmemb
+objects, the inital member of which is
+pointed to by
+.Fa base ,
+for a member that matches the object pointed to by
+.Fa key .
+The size of each member of the array is specified by
+.Fa size .
+.Pp
+The contents of the array should be in ascending sorted order according
+to the comparison function referenced by
+.Fa compar .
+The
+.Fa compar
+routine
+is expected to have two
+two arguments which point to the
+.Fa key
+object and to an array member, in that order, and should return an integer
+less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the
+.Fa key
+object is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be
+greater than the array member.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn bsearch
+function returns a pointer to a matching member of the array, or a null
+pointer if no match is found.
+If two members compare as equal, which member is matched is unspecified.
