qsort
The function qsort performs a Quick sort on an array. Note that some implementations may instead use a more efficient sorting algorithm.

*base refers to the array being sorted. This array contains num elements, each of size size.

The compare function accepts two pointers to the object within the array - which need to first be cast to the object type being examined. The function returns -1 if the first parameter should be before the second, 1 if the first parameter is after, or 0 if the object matches.
