SYNOPSIS
int long_cmp(const long *n1, const long *n2)
ARGUMENTS
n1, n2 Pointers to two long values
DESCRIPTION
This is a function that compares two longs as a service to polymorphic functions such as qsort(3), bsearch(3), etc. The address of long_cmp() is passed as an argument to perform the data type specific comparison on behalf of the sort of search function.RETURN VALUES
A value > 0 if *n1 is greater than *n2 A value < 0 if *n1 is less than *n2 0 if the values are equalEXAMPLES
long list[LIST_SIZE];
// sizeof(*list) will continue to work if we change the data type
// We'll still need to change the cmp function, though
qsort(list, LIST_SIZE, sizeof(*list),
(int (*)(const void *, const void *))long_cmp);
