#### Procedure
       SpiceInt bsrchd_c ( SpiceDouble          value,
                           SpiceInt             ndim,
                           ConstSpiceDouble   * array )
#### Abstract
       Do a binary search for a key value within a double precision array,
       assumed to be in increasing order. Return the index of the matching
       array entry, or -1 if the key value is not found.
#### Required_Reading
       None.
#### Keywords
       ARRAY
       SEARCH
#### Brief_I/O
       VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       value      I   Value to find in array.
       ndim       I   Dimension of array.
       array      I   Array to be searched.

       The function returns the index of the input key value in the
       input array, or -1 if the value is not found.
#### Detailed_Input
       value       is the value to be found in the input array.

       ndim        is the number of elements in the input array.

       array       is the array to be searched. The elements in the
                   array are assumed to sorted in increasing order.
#### Detailed_Output
       The function returns the index of the input value in the input array.
       Indices range from zero to ndim-1.

       If the input array does not contain the specified value, the function
       returns -1.

       If the input array contains more than one occurrence of the specified
       value, the returned index may point to any of the occurrences.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       Error free.

       If ndim < 1 the value of the function is -1.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       A binary search is performed on the input array. If an element of
       the array is found to match the input value, the index of that
       element is returned. If no matching element is found, -1 is
       returned.
#### Examples
       Let array contain the following elements:

          -11.0
            0.0
           22.0
          750.0

       Then

          bsrchd_c ( -11.0, 4, array )   ==  0
          bsrchd_c (  22.0, 4, array )   ==  2
          bsrchd_c ( 751.0, 4, array )   == -1
#### Restrictions
       array is assumed to be sorted in increasing order. If this
       condition is not met, the results of bsrchd_c are unpredictable.
