/* Searches a sorted array of NELEM objects, the initial element being
   pointed to by BASE, for a member that matches the object pointed to
   by KEY. The size of each array member is given by ELSIZE. The array
   must be sorted in ascending order according to the comparison function
   COMP.

   The COMP function is called with three arguments: pointer to the
   key object, pointer to an array element, and CLOSURE. It should return
   negative value, 0, or positive value, depending on whether the key is
   found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or to be greater than
   the array member. The CLOSURE argument can be used to supply additional
   data to the COMP function. Its use is left to the discretion of the
   programmer.

   If the array contains one or more matching entries, the function
   is guaranteed to return the address of the first one.
