 *  rhizome.h
 *
 *  author:	John R. Douceur
 *  date:	28 April 1997
 *
 *  This header file defines structures, function prototypes, and macros for
 *  the rhizome database.  The code is object-oriented C, transliterated from
 *  a C++ implementation.
 *
 *  The rhizome is a database that stores patterns containing wildcards.
 *  Each pattern defines a set of keys that it matches; if a pattern contains
 *  N wildcards, then it matches 2^N keys.  Since each pattern can match
 *  multiple keys, it is possible for a given key to match multiple patterns
 *  in the database.  The rhizome requires that all patterns stored therein
 *  have a strict hierarchical interrelationship.  Two patterns may match no
 *  common keys (in which case the patterns are said to be independent), or
 *  one pattern may match all the keys matched by a second pattern as well as
 *  additonal keys (in which case the second pattern is said to be more general
 *  than the first, and the first more specific than the second).  The database
 *  will not accept two patterns which match some keys in common but each of
 *  which also matches additional keys that the other does not.
 *
 *  The database can be searched for patterns that match a given search key.
 *  When the database is searched for a given key, the most specifically
 *  matching pattern is found.  If no patterns in the database match the key,
 *  an appropriate indication is returned.
 *
 *  Because this code is C, rather than C++, it is not possible to hide as
 *  much of the implementation from the client code as one might wish.
 *  Nonetheless, there is an attempt to isolate the client from some of the
 *  implementation details through the use of macros.  Below is described each
 *  of the functions and macros necessary to use the rhizome database.

/*
 *  There are two basic structures employed: the RhizomeNode and the Rhizome.
 *  Ideally, these would be completely hidden from the client, but the macro
 *  GetReferenceFromPatternHandle requires knowledge of the structure's
 *  definition.  It is strongly urged that the client not directly refer to any
 *  of the fields of either of these structures.  To support the documentation
 *  of the accompanying rhizome.c file, these structures are annotated with
 *  internal comments, but these can be ignored by the reader who wishes only
 *  to understand how to write client code for the rhizome.
 *
 *  The client refers to a pattern by its PatternHandle.  This is typedefed to
 *  a pointer to RhizomeNode, but this fact should be ignored by the client,
 *  since it is an implementation detail.

 *  search on a key, the client wishes to know which pattern most specifically

// A rhizome may be allocated on the stack simply by declaring a variable of
// type Rhizome.  To allocate it on the heap, the following macro returns a
// pointer to a new Rhizome structure.  If this macro is used, a corresponding
// call to free() must be made to deallocate the structure from the heap.
//
//#define NEW_Rhizome ((Rhizome *)malloc(sizeof(Rhizome)))

// Since this is not C++, the Rhizome structure is not self-constructing;
// therefore, the following constructor code must be called on the Rhizome
// structure after it is allocated.  The argument keybits specifies the size
// (in bits) of each pattern that will be stored in the database.

// Since this is not C++, the Rhizome structure is not self-destructing;
// therefore, the following destructor code must be called on the Rhizome
// structure before it is deallocated.  However, if the client code can be
// sure, based upon its usage of the database, that all patterns have been
// removed before the structure is deallocated, then this function is
// unnecessary.

void
destructRhizome(
	Rhizome *rhizome);

// Once the Rhizome structure has been allocated and constructed, patterns can
// be inserted into the database.  Each pattern is specified by a value and a
// mask.  Each bit of the mask determines whether the bit position is specified
// or is a wildcard:  A 1 in a mask bit indicates that the value of that bit is
// specified by the pattern; a 0 indicates that the value of that bit is a
// wildcard.  If a mask bit is 1, then the corresponding bit in the value field
// indicates the specified value of that bit.  Value and mask fields are passed
// as arrays of bytes.
//
// The client also specifies a reference value, as a void pointer, that it
// wishes to associate with this pattern.  When the pattern is installed, the
// insertRhizome function returns a pointer to a PatternHandle.  From the
// PatternHandle can be gotten the reference value via the macro
// GetReferenceFromPatternHandle.
//
// If the new pattern conflicts with a pattern already installed in the
// database, meaning that the two patterns match some keys in common but each
// also matches additional keys that the other does not, then the new pattern
// is not inserted, and a value of 0 is returned as the PatternHandle.

// This function removes a pattern from the rhizome.  The pattern is specified
// by the PatternHandle that was returned by the insertRhizome function.  No
// checks are performed to insure that this is a valid handle, so the client
// must discard the handle after it has called removeRhizome.

void
removeRhizome(
