DESCRIPTION
Qsort is an implementation of the quicker-sort algorithm.
The
first argument is a pointer to the base of the data; the
second is
the number of elements; the third is the width of an element
in
bytes; the last is the name of the comparison routine to be
called
with two arguments which are pointers to the elements being
compared. The routine must return an integer less than,
equal to,
