 function returns a pointer to a matching member of the array, or a null
 pointer if no match is found.
 If two members compare as equal, which member is matched is unspecified.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+A sample program that searchs people by age in a sorted array:
+.Bd -literal
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <stdlib.h>
+
+struct person {
+	char name[5];
+	int age;
+};
+
+int
+compare(const void *key, const void *array_member)

+	struct person person = *(struct person *) array_member;

+	return (age - person.age);

+
+int
+main()
+{
+	struct person *friend;
+
+	/* Sorted array */
+	struct person friends[6] = {
+		{ "paul", 22 },
+		{ "anne", 25 },

+		{ "mary", 27 },
