31  * sort - sort an array of elements

34  * @size: size of each element
35  * @cmp_func: pointer to comparison function
36  * @swap_func: pointer to swap function or NULL
37  *
38  * This function does a heapsort on the given array. You may provide a
39  * swap_func function optimized to your element type.
40  *
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.
