qsort.3: alphasort() and versionsort() are not suitable for 'compar'
In glibc 2.10, the prototypes of alphasort() and versionsort() were changed so that the arguments switched from 'const void *' to 'const struct dirent **', to match the POSIX.1-2008 specification of alphasort(). As such, compiler warnings will result if these functions are used as the arguments of qsort(). warning: passing argument 4 of 'qsort' from incompatible pointer type expected '__compar_fn_t' but argument is of type 'int (*)(const struct dirent **, const struct dirent **)' Therefore, remove the ancient NOTES text suggesting that alphasort() and versionsort() can be used as suitable 'compar' arguments for qsort().
