.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
These routines implement an efficient mechanism to find an
|
|
|
|
|
occurrence of a byte string within another byte string.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
.I Bm_comp
|
|
|
|
|
evaluates the
|
|
|
|
|
.I patlen
|
|
|
|
|
bytes starting at
|
|
|
|
|
.IR pattern ,
|
|
|
|
|
and returns a pointer to a structure describing them.
|
|
|
|
|
The bytes referenced by
|
|
|
|
|
.I pattern
|
|
|
|
|
may be of any value.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The search takes advantage of the frequency distribution of the
|
|
|
|
|
bytes in the text to be searched.
|
|
|
|
|
If specified,
|
|
|
|
|
.I freq
|
|
|
|
|
should be an array of 256 values,
|
|
|
|
|
with higher values indicating that the corresponding character occurs
|
|
|
|
|
more frequently.
|
|
|
|
|
(A less than optimal frequency distribution can only result in less
|
|
|
|
|
than optimal performance, not incorrect results.)
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.I freq
|
|
|
|
|
is NULL,
|
|
|
|
|
a system default table is used.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
.I Bm_exec
|
|
|
|
|
returns a pointer to the leftmost occurrence of the string given to
|
|
|
|
|
.I bm_comp
|
|
|
|
|
within
|
|
|
|
|
.IR text ,
|
|
|
|
|
or NULL if none occurs.
|
|
|
|
|
The number of bytes in
|
|
|
|
|
.I text
|
|
|
|
|
must be specified by
|
|
|
|
|
.IR len .
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Space allocated for the returned description is discarded
|
|
|
|
|
by calling
|
|
|
|
|
.I bm_free
|
|
|
|
|
with the returned description as an argument.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The asymptotic speed of
|
|
|
|
|
.I bm_exec
|
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
|
.RI O( len / patlen ).
