.SH NAME
tab \- simple table lookup routines
.SH SYNOPSIS
.L "#include <ast.h>"
.sp
.L "int tabindex(const void* tab, int size, const char* name);" 
.L "void* tablook(const void* tab, int size, const char* name);" 
.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines do linear lookups in
.I small
tables (on the order of 32 elements).
Each table element has a size of
.L size
bytes and the beginning of the element points to a name that is
matched by the lookup routines.
.PP
.L tabindex
returns the index of the table element in
.L tab
that matches
.LR name .
If there is no match then
.L \-1
is returned.
.PP
.L tablook
returns a pointer to the table element in
.L tab
that matches
.LR name .
If there is no match then
.L 0
is returned.
