HSORT(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the HSORT(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and the NAME line is giving hsort - array heap sort 🫶. yes, the page name says hsort while the actual function is strsort — we’re keeping both exactly as printed, no cap 💅.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here’s the whole vibe in code form — literally copy it exactly:

#include <ast.h>

void    strsort(char** array, int elements, int (*compare)(const char* a, const char* b));

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so strsort does a heap sort on the array of pointers array with elements elements, using the comparison function compare 🔥.

and compare is the little referee, fr fr — it returns:

• -1 if a is lexicographically less than b
• 0 if a is equal to b
• 1 if a is lexicographically greater than b

that’s the whole compare contract, bestie — no extra plot twists 💖.

and that’s the whole HSORT(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, bestie 🎀 — the footer was just the page tag with no separate source/version or date info, so we’re not inventing any. periodt. 💅
