<h2 class='title'>Introduction</h2>
<p>The CUPS array API provides a high-performance generic array
container. The contents of the array container can be sorted and
the container itself is designed for optimal speed and memory
usage under a wide variety of conditions.</p>
<p>The CUPS scheduler (<tt>cupsd</tt>) and many of the CUPS API
functions use the array API to efficiently manage large lists of
data.</p>
<h2 class='title'>General Usage</h2>
<p>The <var><cups/array.h></var> header file must be
included to use the <tt>cupsArray</tt> functions.</p>
<p>Programs using these functions must be linked to the CUPS
library: <var>libcups.a</var>, <var>libcups.so.2</var>,
<var>libcups.2.dylib</var>, <var>libcups_s.a</var>, or
<var>libcups2.lib</var> depending on the platform. The following
command compiles <var>myprogram.c</var> using GCC and the CUPS
library:</p>
<pre class='command'>
<kbd>gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c -lcups</kbd>
</pre>
<h2 class='title'>Compatibility</h2>
<p>All of these functions require CUPS 1.2 or higher.</p>
