Bm is a fast pattern matching utility, intended to be almost
identical in functionality to fgrep (ugh!) but much faster. It uses
the Boyer-Moore algorithm, as described in the papers listed below:

D.E. Knuth, J.H. Morris, V.R. Pratt,"Fast Pattern Matching in Strings",
SIAM J. Comput., 6(2), June 1977, 323-350,

Z. Galil,
"On Improving the Worst Case Running Time of the Boyer-Moore String
Matching Algorithm",
CACM, 22(9), Sept. 1979, ACM,

R.S. Boyer, J.S. Moore,"A Fast String Searching Algorithm", CACM, 20(10),
Oct. 1977, 762-772,

G. de V. Smit,"A Comparison of Three String Matching Algorithms",
Software - Practice and Experience, vol. 12, 1982, 57-66,

*** NOTE *** There are certain system dependencies in the code.
Please check whether your system uses "index" or "strchr" to
find a character in a string: this affects MkDescVec.c.
Also check whether your system uses or .
This affects match.c/bm.c, MkDescVec.c, and PrintLine.c.
Also check whether your system has "bcopy". If so, see MoveResidue.c

The files are MkDescVec.c, PrintLine.c, bm.c, and
Execute.c: search a file for the patterns
Extern.h: declarations of externs
GetPatFile.c: read in patterns from a file and set up a vector of
pattern descriptors
Global.c: global variables (complement to Extern.h)
MakeDesc.c: create a pattern descriptor for one pattern, including
skip tables, etc.
MakeSkip.c: make the skip tables for one pattern
Makefile: you can figure this one out for yourself
MatchFound.c: what to do when you actually FIND a pattern - print it,
update flags, etc.
MkDescVec.c: make a vector of pattern descriptors, given a string
of newline-separated patterns
MoveResidue.c: when you come to the end of the buffer, move the
unsearched "residue" to the beginning and start again
PrintLine.c: print the appropriate stuff after finding a match
PutUsage.c: mini-man page.
README: this file
Search.c: the guts. Implements B-M algorithm given a pattern, skip
tables for the pattern, and a buffer to search
bm.c: mainline. mostly interpreting the command line and tidying
up at the end. Calls Execute for each file.
bm.h: constants
bm.p: man page

Revision history:

9/30/87 -- Thomas A. Lundin
Graphics Unlimited Inc.
3000 Second Street North
Minneapolis, MN 55411
(612) 588-7571

a couple of trivial statement mods for Turbo-C compatibility;
some heavier changes for PC-DOS file argument handling;
added -m switch for forced case match;
made case-ignore the default condition.

10/05/87 -- Tom again.

added -t switch for screen output truncation to 80 chars;
fixed bug in case-ignore pattern matching.
