31 * sort - sort an array of elements
32 * @base: pointer to data to sort
33 * @num: number of elements
34 * @size: size of each element
35 * @cmp: pointer to comparison function
36 * @swap: pointer to swap function or NULL
38 * This function does a heapsort on the given array. You may provide a
39 * swap function optimized to your element type.
41 * Sorting time is O(n log n) both on average and worst-case. While
42 * qsort is about 20% faster on average, it suffers from exploitable
43 * O(n*n) worst-case behavior and extra memory requirements that make
44 * it less suitable for kernel use.
