      [LIB]: Naive finite state machine based textsearch · 6408f79c
      Thomas Graf 提交于
      A finite state machine consists of n states (struct ts_fsm_token)
      representing the pattern as a finite automation. The data is read
      sequentially on a octet basis. Every state token specifies the number
      of recurrences and the type of value accepted which can be either a
      specific character or ctype based set of characters. The available
      type of recurrences include 1, (0|1), [0 n], and [1 n].
      
      The algorithm differs between strict/non-strict mode specyfing
      whether the pattern has to start at the first octect. Strict mode
      is enabled by default and can be disabled by inserting
      TS_FSM_HEAD_IGNORE as the first token in the chain.
      
      The runtime performance of the algorithm should be around O(n),
      however while in strict mode the average runtime can be better.
