-.Dt LSEARCH 3
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm lsearch ,
-.Nm lfind
-.Nd linear searching routines
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libcompat
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In sys/types.h
-.Ft char *
-.Fn lsearch "const void *key" "const void *base" "size_t *nelp" "size_t width" "int (*compar)(void *, void *)"
-.Ft char *
-.Fn lfind "const void *key" "const void *base" "size_t *nelp" "size_t width" "int (*compar)(void *, void *)"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Bf -symbolic
-This interface was obsolete before it was written.
-.Ef
-.Pp
-The functions
-.Fn lsearch ,
-and
-.Fn lfind
-provide basic linear searching functionality.
-.Pp
-.Fa Base
-is the pointer to the beginning of an array.
-The argument
-.Fa nelp
-is the current number of elements in the array, where each element
-is
-.Fa width
-bytes long.
-The
-.Fa compar
-function
-is a comparison routine which is used to compare two elements.
-It takes two arguments which point to the
-.Fa key
-object and to an array member, in that order, and must return an integer
-less than, equivalent to, or greater than zero if the
-.Fa key
-object is considered, respectively, to be less than, equal to, or greater
-than the array member.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn lsearch
-and
-.Fn lfind
-functions
-return a pointer into the array referenced by
-.Fa base
-where
-.Fa key
-is located.
-If
-.Fa key
-does not exist,
-.Fn lfind
-will return a null pointer and
-.Fn lsearch
-will add it to the array.
-When an element is added to the array by
-.Fn lsearch
-the location referenced by the argument
-.Fa nelp
-is incremented by one.
