- /***
- *char *_lsearch(key, base, num, width, compare) - do a linear search
- *
- *Purpose:
- * Performs a linear search on the array, looking for the value key
- * in an array of num elements of width bytes in size. Returns
- * a pointer to the array value if found; otherwise adds the
- * key to the end of the list.
- *
- *Entry:
- * char *key - key to search for
- * char *base - base of array to search
- * unsigned *num - number of elements in array
- * int width - number of bytes in each array element
- * int (*compare)() - pointer to function that compares two
- * array values, returning 0 if they are equal and non-0
- * if they are different. Two pointers to array elements
- * are passed to this function.
- *
- *Exit:
- * if key found:
- * returns pointer to array element
- * if key not found:
- * adds the key to the end of the list, and increments
- * *num.
- * returns pointer to new element.
- *
- *Exceptions:
