skipSearch(3)							  util/skiplist.h						     skipSearch(3)

NAME
       skipSearch  - search a skip list.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <util/skiplist.h>

       void *skipSearch(skipList list, UINT32 key, void **plock);

ARGUMENTS
       list - list to search in.
       key - key to look for.
       plock - place for value lock (or NULL).

DESCRIPTION
       Searches  for  <key> in <list>, and returns value if found, or NULL if not.  If <plock> is non-NULL, then the lock returned in <plock> will
       be associated with the returned value.  Until this lock is passed to skipRelease(), the value will not be freed with the freeValue callback
       (see skipNewList()).

       MT-Level: Safe if <list> thread-safe.

RETURN VALUE
       plock - set to value lock.
