Introduction
------------
This is libbloom, a simple and small bloom filter implementation in C.

If you are reading this you probably already know about bloom filters
and why you might use one. If not, the wikipedia article is a good intro:

Building
--------
The Makefile assumes GNU Make, so run 'make' or 'gmake' as appropriate
on your system.

See Makefile comments for other build options.

The shared library will be in ./build/libbloom.so
A static library will be in ./build/libbloom.a


Sample Usage
------------

#include "bloom.h"

struct bloom bloom;
bloom_init2(&bloom, 1000000, 0.01);
bloom_add(&bloom, buffer, buflen);

if (bloom_check(&bloom, buffer, buflen)) {
  printf("It may be there!\n");
}
