NAME
       lsearch - See if a list contains a particular element

SYNOPSIS
       lsearch ?mode? list pattern


DESCRIPTION
       This  command  searches  the  elements  of  list  to see if one of them
       matches pattern.  If so, the command returns the  index  of  the  first
       matching  element.   If not, the command returns -1.  The mode argument
       indicates how the elements of the list are to be matched  against  pat-
       tern and it must have one of the following values:

       -exact The  list  element  must contain exactly the same string as pat-
              tern.

       -glob  Pattern is a glob-style pattern which is  matched  against  each
              list element using the same rules as the string match command.

       -regexp
              Pattern  is  treated as a regular expression and matched against
              each list element using the rules  described  in  the  re_syntax
              reference page.

       If mode is omitted then it defaults to -glob.
