+.Nd Boyer-Moore string search
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <bm.h>
+.Ft bm_pat *
+.Fn bm_comp "u_char *pattern" "size_t patlen" "u_char freq[256]"
+.Ft u_char *
+.Fn bm_exec "bm_pat *pdesc" "u_char *text" "size_t len"
+.Ft void
+.Fn bm_free "bm_pat *pdesc"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These routines implement an efficient mechanism to find an
+occurrence of a byte string within another byte string.
+.Pp
+.Fn bm_comp
+evaluates
+.Fa patlen
+bytes starting at
+.Fa pattern
+and returns a pointer to a structure describing them.
+The bytes referenced by
+.Fa pattern
+may be of any value.
+.Pp
+The search takes advantage of the frequency distribution of the
+bytes in the text to be searched.
+If specified,
+.Ar freq
+should be an array of 256 values,
+with higher values indicating that the corresponding character occurs
+more frequently.
+(A less than optimal frequency distribution can only result in less
+than optimal performance, not incorrect results.)
+If
+.Ar freq
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+a system default table is used.
+.Pp
+.Fn bm_exec
+returns a pointer to the leftmost occurrence of the string given to
+.Fn bm_comp
+within
+.Ar text ,
+or
+.Dv NULL
+if none occurs.
+The number of bytes in
+.Ar text
+must be specified by
+.Ar len .
+.Pp
+Space allocated for the returned description is discarded
+by calling
+.Fn bm_free
+with the returned description as an argument.
+.Pp
+The asymptotic speed of
+.Fn bm_exec
+is
+.Pf O Ns Pq len / patlen .
