quickselect library source code is located in lib/libmedian/src/quickselect.c A related header file is located at lib/libmedian/include/quickselect.h A man page is in lib/libmedian/man/quickselect.3 A test framework program, median_test, (so named for historical reasons) has source code in src/median_test.c. (it's not pretty) Header files are located in include and lib/libmedian/include. The test framework also uses a number of libraries, located under lib, and is built using makefiles and a few shell scripts. See README.makefiles and README.ident. Building the test framework with quickselect available to it for testing should be as simple as make depend make median_test That ought to work on Solaris, Linux, and UNIX (e.g. NetBSD) systems. Median_test also incorporates Bentley & McIlroy's vanilla qsort code, modified code from NetBSD, further modifications that improve performance, and glibc qsort code; it can also run tests on the local qsort on the system on which it is built. There's no man page for median_test, running it with a -? arg will print a usage synopsis. It is advisable to build w/o optimization to run the operations cost tests; otherwise optimization is recommended. A pre-peer-reviewed document describing quickselect and its development and testing may be found at lib/libmedian/doc/pub/generic/paper.pdf. A separate document detailing internals is in lib/libmedian/doc/pub/design.pdf.
