        !            20: The first argument is a pointer to the base of the data;
        !            21: the second is the number of elements;
        !            22: the third is the width of an element in bytes;

        !            25: to the elements being compared.
        !            26: The routine must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than 0
        !            27: according as the first argument is to be considered
        !            28: less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
