NAME
       insertinit, insertsort, get_results, set_results, save_median,
       save_minimum   - the lmbench results subsystem

SYNOPSIS
       #include ``lmbench.h''

       #define TRIES 11

       typedef struct { uint64 u, n } value_t;

       typedef struct { int N; value_t v[TRIES]; } result_t;

       int       sizeof_result(int N)

       void insertinit(result_t *r)

       void insertsort(uint64 u, uint64 n, result_t *r)

       result_t* get_results()

       void set_results(result_t *r)

       void save_median()

       void save_minimum()

DESCRIPTION
       These routines provide some simple data management functionality.  In
       most cases, you will not need these routines.

       The current timing results can be accessed using the routines in
       timing(3).  The current timing results may be modified using
       save_median and save_minimum.

       int       sizeof_result(int N)
              returns the number of bytes to allocate for a result_t which
              contains N results.

       void insertinit(result_t *r)
              initializes the results array.

       void insertsort(uint64 u, uint64 n, result_t *r)
              insert u and n into r.  Results are sorted in decreasing order
              by u/n.

       void get_results(result_t *r)
              get a copy of the current results.

       void set_results(result_t *r)
              save a copy r as the current results.

       void save_median()
              sets the timing results to the median of the current results.

       void save_minimum()
              sets the timing restuls to the minimum of the current results.

       Results are sorted in ascending order, so the minimum value is at
       TRIES-1 and the maximum value is at 0.

FUTURES
       Development of lmbench is continuing.
