DESCRIPTION

      The <search.h> header shall define the ENTRY type for structure entry which shall include the following members:
 
             char    *key
             void    *data
 
      and shall define ACTION and VISIT as enumeration data types through type definitions as follows:
 
             enum { FIND, ENTER } ACTION;
             enum { preorder, postorder, endorder, leaf } VISIT;
 
      The size_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/types.h> .
 
      The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be pro-
      vided.
 
             int    hcreate(size_t);
             void   hdestroy(void);
             ENTRY *hsearch(ENTRY, ACTION);
             void   insque(void *, void *);
             void  *lfind(const void *, const void *, size_t *,
                       size_t, int (*)(const void *, const void *));
             void  *lsearch(const void *, void *, size_t *,
                       size_t, int (*)(const void *, const void *));
             void   remque(void *);
             void  *tdelete(const void *restrict, void **restrict,
                       int(*)(const void *, const void *));
             void  *tfind(const void *, void *const *,
                       int(*)(const void *, const void *));
             void  *tsearch(const void *, void **,
                       int(*)(const void *, const void *));
             void   twalk(const void *,
                       void (*)(const void *, VISIT, int ));
