34 * Allocates a new heap.
37 * `compare' The function-pointer `compare' is used to compare two keys. It
38 * has to return less than zero if it's first argument is smaller
39 * then the second argument, more than zero if the first argument
40 * is bigger than the second argument and zero if they are equal.
41 * If your keys are char-pointers, you can use the `strcmp'
42 * function from the libc here.
45 * A c_heap_t-pointer upon success or NULL upon failure.

54 * Deallocates a heap. Stored value- and key-pointer are lost, but of course
57 void c_heap_destroy (c_heap_t *h);
64 * Stores the key-value-pair in the heap pointed to by `h'.
67 * `h' Heap to store the data in.
68 * `ptr' Value to be stored. This is typically a pointer to a data
69 * structure. The data structure is of course *not* copied and may
70 * not be free'd before the pointer has been removed from the heap
74 * Zero upon success, non-zero otherwise. It's less than zero if an error
75 * occurred or greater than zero if the key is already stored in the tree.
77 int c_heap_insert (c_heap_t *h, void *ptr);
84 * Removes the value at the root of the heap and returns both, key and value.
87 * `h' Heap to remove key-value-pair from.
90 * The pointer passed to `c_heap_insert' or NULL if there are no more
91 * elements in the heap (or an error occurred).
