12 * ==========================================================================
19 * The textsearch infrastructure provides text searching facilities for
20 * both linear and non-linear data. Individual search algorithms are
21 * implemented in modules and chosen by the user.

42 * (1) User configures a search by calling textsearch_prepare() specifying
43 * the search parameters such as the pattern and algorithm name.
44 * (2) Core requests the algorithm to allocate and initialize a search
45 * configuration according to the specified parameters.
46 * (3) User starts the search(es) by calling textsearch_find() or
47 * textsearch_next() to fetch subsequent occurrences. A state variable
48 * is provided to the algorithm to store persistent variables.
49 * (4) Core eventually resets the search offset and forwards the find()
50 * request to the algorithm.
51 * (5) Algorithm calls get_next_block() provided by the user continuously
52 * to fetch the data to be searched in block by block.
53 * (6) Algorithm invokes finish() after the last call to get_next_block
54 * to clean up any leftovers from get_next_block. (Optional)
55 * (7) User destroys the configuration by calling textsearch_destroy().
56 * (8) Core notifies the algorithm to destroy algorithm specific
57 * allocations. (Optional)
61 * Before a search can be performed, a configuration must be created
62 * by calling textsearch_prepare() specifying the searching algorithm,
63 * the pattern to look for and flags. As a flag, you can set TS_IGNORECASE
64 * to perform case insensitive matching. But it might slow down
65 * performance of algorithm, so you should use it at own your risk.
66 * The returned configuration may then be used for an arbitrary
67 * amount of times and even in parallel as long as a separate struct
68 * ts_state variable is provided to every instance.
70 * The actual search is performed by either calling
71 * textsearch_find_continuous() for linear data or by providing
72 * an own get_next_block() implementation and
73 * calling textsearch_find(). Both functions return
74 * the position of the first occurrence of the pattern or UINT_MAX if
75 * no match was found. Subsequent occurrences can be found by calling
76 * textsearch_next() regardless of the linearity of the data.
78 * Once you're done using a configuration it must be given back via
84 * struct ts_config *conf;
85 * struct ts_state state;
86 * const char *pattern = "chicken";
87 * const char *example = "We dance the funky chicken";
89 * conf = textsearch_prepare("kmp", pattern, strlen(pattern),
90 * GFP_KERNEL, TS_AUTOLOAD);
92 * err = PTR_ERR(conf);
96 * pos = textsearch_find_continuous(conf, \&state, example, strlen(example));
97 * if (pos != UINT_MAX)
98 * panic("Oh my god, dancing chickens at \%d\n", pos);
100 * textsearch_destroy(conf);
