43 * sort - sort an array of elements
44 * @base: pointer to data to sort
45 * @num: number of elements
46 * @size: size of each element
47 * @cmp_func: pointer to comparison function
48 * @swap_func: pointer to swap function or NULL
50 * This function does a heapsort on the given array. You may provide a
51 * swap_func function optimized to your element type.
53 * Sorting time is O(n log n) both on average and worst-case. While
54 * qsort is about 20% faster on average, it suffers from exploitable
55 * O(n*n) worst-case behavior and extra memory requirements that make
56 * it less suitable for kernel use.
