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