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.
