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