XXInformation on bsearchstr(3):
XX1. This library routine is like bsearch(3), but generalized to work
XX with files (not memory images) of random length strings (not fixed
XX length objects).
XX2. Unlike bsearch(), it is well-behaved. If more than one data item
XX (text line) matches the pattern, it returns the first matching item,
XX not a random one.
XX3. It's been around a while, well tested, and shown itself to be
XX generally useful, mainly for lookups into large, sorted lists.
XX4. It runs on HP-UX (AT&T V.2); hasn't been tested on other variants.
XX5. No makefile provided or needed -- compilation and linking are
XX vanilla.
XX6. No warranty express or implied accompanies this software. Caveat
XX emptor. See the manual entry.

XX.SH DESCRIPTION
XX.B Bsearchstr
XXis a binary search routine which understands ordinary files containing sorted,
XXrandom-length strings (lines) terminated by newline characters.
XXIt returns the byte offset of the first line in the file which begins with the
XXgiven pattern, taken as a simple string of characters (regular expressions are
XXnot supported).
XXIt also sets the file location to the line beginning at the offset returned,
XXusing \fIfseek\fR\^(3s).
XX.PP
XX\fIStream\fR must be a currently open file containing lines previously sorted
XXin increasing order by the simple numeric values of the characters.
XX.PP
XX\fIPattern\fR must be a valid pointer to char.
XXA nil pattern (e.g. \(**pattern == 0) matches anything, so
XX.B bsearchstr
XXreturns zero (start of file) in this case.
XXA nil line in the file (e.g. nothing but a newline) is treated as being less
XXthan any non-nil pattern.
XX.PP
XXIf
XX.I caseins
XXis zero, searching is done case-sensitively, and the data file should be sorted
XXaccordingly.
XXIf
XX.I caseins
XXis non-zero, searching is done case-insensitively, and the data must have been
XXsorted using "sort \-f" or equivalent.
XXThe routine uses
XX.IR malloc (3)
XXto get memory to make an uppercased copy of
XX.IR pattern ,
XXso as not to modify the passed-in value.
XX.PP
XXIf \fItellnext\fR is zero, and no line in the file begins with \fIpattern\fR,
XX.B bsearchstr
XXreturns \-1.
XXIf \fItellnext\fR is non-zero, it returns the offset of the first line
XXlexically after \fIpattern\fR.
XXIt returns the size of the file if the last line is before \fIpattern\fR.
XX.PP
XXEach time
XX.B bsearchstr
XXhalves the remainder of the file, it seeks to a
XXlocation which is usually not the start of a line.
XXIt searches forwards, then backwards, a character at a time, to locate the
XXnext start of line.
XXThis is normally more efficient than linear searching the file, especially if
XXthe file is large and no lines are extremely long.
XXAlso,
XX.B bsearchstr
XXworks fine even if the last line in the file is not
XXterminated by a newline.
XX.SH SEE ALSO
XXsort(1), bsearch(3c), fgets(3s), fopen(3s), hsearch(3c), lsearch(3c),
XXqsort(3c), tsearch(3c).
XX.SH DIAGNOSTICS
XXReturns \-1 if no line matches and \fItellnext\fR is zero.
XX.PP
XXReturns \-2 if any
XX.IR fseek (3s),
XX.IR ftell (3s),
XXor
XX.IR malloc (3c)
XXerror occurs.
XXIn this case the current file location is unpredictable.
