Rel is a program that determines the relevance of text documents to a
set of keywords expressed in boolean infix notation. The list of file
names that are relevant are printed to the standard output, in order
of relevance.
For example, the command:
rel "(directory & listing)" /usr/share/man/cat1
(ie., find the relevance of all files that contain both of the words
"directory" and "listing" in the catman directory) will list 21 files,
out of the 782 catman files, (totaling 6.8 MB,) of which "ls.1" is the
fifth most relevant-meaning that to find the command that lists
directories in a Unix system, the "literature search" was cut, on
average, from 359 to 5 files, or a reduction of approximately 98%. The
command took 55 seconds to execute on a on a System V, rel. 4.2
machine, (20Mhz 386 with an 18ms. ESDI drive,) which is a considerable
expediency in relation to browsing through the files in the directory
since ls.1 is the 359'th file in the directory. Although this example
is remedial, a similar expediency can be demonstrated in searching for
documents in email repositories and text archives.
Additional applications include information robots, (ie., "mailbots,"
or "infobots,") where the disposition (ie., delivery, filing, or
viewing,) of text documents can be determined dynamically, based on
the relevance of the document to a set of criteria, framed in boolean
infix notation. Or, in other words, the program can be used to order,
or rank, text documents based on a "context," specified in a general
mathematical language, similar to that used in calculators.
General description of the program:
This program is an experiment to evaluate using infix boolean
operations as a heuristic to determine the relevance of text files in
electronic literature searches. The operators supported are, "&" for
logical "and," "|" for logical "or," and "!" for logical "not."
Parenthesis are used as grouping operators, and "partial key" searches
are fully supported, (meaning that the words can be abbreviated.) For
example, the command:
rel "(((these & those) | (them & us)) ! we)" file1 file2 ...
would print a list of filenames that contain either the words "these"
and "those", or "them" and "us", but doesn't contain the word "we"
from the list of filenames, file1, file2, ... The order of the printed
file names is in order of relevance, where relevance is determined by
the number of incidences of the words "these", "those", "them", and
"us", in each file. The general concept is to "narrow down" the number
of files to be browsed when doing electronic literature searches for
specific words and phrases in a group of files using a command similar
to:
more `rel "(((these & those) | (them & us)) ! we)" file1 file2`
Although regular expressions were supported in the prototype versions
of the program, the capability was removed in the release versions for
reasons of syntactical formality, for example, the command:
rel "((john & conover) & (joh.*over))" files
has a logical contradiction since the first group specifies all files
which contain "john" any place and "conover" anyplace in files, and
the second grouping specifies all files that contain "john" followed
by "conover". If the last group of operators takes precedence, the
first is redundant. Additionally, it is not clear whether wild card
expressions should span the scope multiple records in a literature
search, (which the first group of operators in this example does,) or
exactly what a wild card expression that spans multiple records means,
ie., how many records are to be spanned, without writing a string of
EOL's in the infix expression. Since the two groups of operators in
this example are very close, operationally, (at least for practical
purposes,) it was decided that support of regular expressions should
be abandoned, and such operations left to the grep(1) suite.
Comparative benchmarks of search algorithm:
The benchmarks were run on a System V, rel. 4.2 machine, (20Mhz
386 with an 18ms. ESDI drive,) and searched the catman directory,
(consisting of 782 catman files, totaling 6.8 MB,) which was
searched for either one or two 9 character words that did not
exist in any file, ie., there could be no matches found. The
comparison was between the standard egrep(1), agrep(1), and
rel(1). (Agrep is a very fast regular expression search program,
and is available by anonymous ftp from cs.arizona.edu, IP
192.12.69.5)
for complex search patterns (after cd'ing to the cat1 directory:)
the command "egrep 'abcdefwxy|wxyabcdef' *" took 74.93 seconds
the command "agrep 'abcdefwxy,wwxyabcdef' *" took 72.93
seconds
the command "rel 'abcdefwxy|wxyabcdef' *" took 51.95 seconds
for simple search patterns (after cd'ing to the cat1 directory:)
the command "egrep 'abcdefwxy' *" took 73.91 seconds
the command "agrep 'abcdefwxy' *" took 25.87 seconds
the command "rel 'abcdefwxy' *" took 43.68 seconds
For simple search patterns, agrep(1) is significantly faster, and
for complex search patterns, rel(1) is slightly faster..
Applicability:
Applicability of rel varies on complexity of search, size of database,
speed of host environment, etc., however, as some general guidelines:
1) For text files with a total size of less than 5 MB, rel, and
standard egrep(1) queries of the text files will probably prove
adequate.
2) For text files with a total size of 5 MB to 50 MB, qt seems
adequate for most queries. The significant issue is that, although
the retrieval execution times are probably adequate with qt, the
database write times are not impressive. Qt is listed in "Related
information retrieval software:," below.
3) For text files with a total size that is larger than 50 MB, or
where concurrency is an issue, it would be appropriate to consider
one of the other alternatives listed in "Related information
retrieval software:," below.
Extensibility:
The source was written with extensibility as an issue. To alter
character transliterations, see uppercase.c for details. For
enhancements to phrase searching and hyphenation suggestions, see
translit.c.
It is possible to "weight" the relevance determination of
documents that are composed in one of the standardized general
markup languages, like TeX/LaTeX, or SGML. The "weight" of the
relevance of search matches depends on where the words are found
in the structure of the document, for example, if the search was
for "numerical" and "methods," \chapter{Numerical Methods} would
be weighted "stronger" than if the words were found in
\section{Numerical Methods}, which in turn would be weighted
"stronger" than if the words were found in a paragraph. This would
permit relevance of a document to be determined by how author
structured the document. See eval.c for suggestions.
The list of identifiers in the search argument can be printed to
stdio, possibly preceeded by a '+' character and separated by '|'
characters to make an egrep(1) compatible search argument, which
could, conceivably, be used as the search argument in a browser so
that something like:
"browse `rel arg directory'"
would automatically search the directory for arg, load the files
into the browser, and skip to the first instance of an identifier,
with one button scanning to the next instance, and so on. See
postfix.c for suggestions.
The source architecture is very modularized to facilitate adapting
the program to different environments and applications, for
example, a "mailbot" can be constructed by eliminating
searchpath.c, and constructing a list of postfix stacks, with
perhaps an email address element added to each postfix stack, in
such a manner that the program could be used to scan incoming
mail, and if the mail was relevant to any postfix criteria, it
would be forwarded to the recipient.
The program is capable of running as a wide area, distributed,
full text information retrieval system. A possible scenario would
be to distribute a large database in many systems that are
internetworked together, presumably via the Unix inet facility,
with each system running a copy of the program. Queries would be
submitted to the systems, and the systems would return individual
records containing the count of matches to the query, and the file
name containing the matches, perhaps with the machine name, in
such a manner that the records could be sorted on the "count
field," and a network wide "browser" could be used to view the
documents, or a script could be made to use the "r suite" to
transfer the documents into the local machine. Obviously, the
queries would be run in parallel on the machines in the
network-concurrency would not be an issue. See the function,
main(), below, for suggestions.

The general program strategy:
1) Translate the the infix notation of the first non-switch
argument specified on the command line into a postfix notation
list.
2) Compile each token in the postfix notation list, from 1), into
a Boyer-Moore-Horspool-Sunday compatible jump table.
3) Recursively descend into all directories that are listed on the
remainder of the command line, searching each file in each
directory, using the Boyer-Moore-Horspool-Sunday algorithm, for
the counts of incidences of each word in the postfix notation
list-at the conclusion of the search of each file, evaluate the
postfix notation list to determine the relevance of the file, and
if the relevance is greater than zero, add the filename and
relevance value to the relevance list.
4) Quick sort the relevance list from 3), on the relevance values,
and print the filename of each element in the relevance list.
Module descriptions:
1) The module uppercase.c constructs an array of MAX_ALPHABET_SIZE
characters, in such a manner that the implicit index of any
element contains the toupper() of the offset into the array of the
specific index value, (ie., it is a look up table for uppercase
characters,) and is called from main() for initialization in
rel.c. The arrays use is to make a locale specific, fast,
uppercase character translator, and is used in lexicon.c and
searchfile.c to translate the first argument of the command line,
and file data, respectively, to uppercase characters.
note: care must be exercised when using this array in systems
where the native type of char is signed, for example:
signed char ch;
unsigned char cu;
cu = uppercase[ch];
will not give the desired results, since ch indexed a negative
section of the array, (which does not exist.). Particularly
meticulous usage of lint is advisable.
See uppercase.c and translit.c for suggestions in implementing
hyphenation and phrase searching strategies.
2) The module translit.c translates all of the characters in an
array, using the array established in uppercase.c. See translit.c
and uppercase.c for suggestions in implementing hyphenation and
phrase searching strategies.
3) The module lexicon.c parses the first argument of the command
line into tokens, and is repetitively called by postfix.c for each
token in the first argument of the command line. Lexicon.c uses a
simple state machine to parse the tokens from the argument.
4) The module posfix.c translates the first argument of the
command line from infix notation to a postfix notation list, and
is called from main() in rel.c. Syntax of the infix expression is
also verified in this module.
5) The module bmhsearch.c contains all of the
Boyer-Moore-Horspool-Sunday (BMH) string search functions,
including the bmhcompile_postfix() function which is called from
main() in rel.c, to compile each token in the postfix notation
list into a jump table, and the bmhsearch_list () function which
is called repetitively to search each file in searchfile.c. See
the bmhsearech.c module for a complete description of the
assembled data structures.
6) The module searchpath.c is a POSIX compliant, recursive descent
directory and file listing function that is called from main() in
rel.c to search files using the module in searchfile.c.
7) The module searchfile.c is repetitively called from
searchpath() in searchpath.c to search each file found in 5),
using the BMH string search functions in bmhsearch.c. Searchfile.c
uses POSIX compliant functions to open, lock, read, and close each
file. The files are read locked for compatability with those
systems that write lock files during write operations with
utilities, for example, like vi(1). This provides concurrency
control in a multi user environment. Searchfile.c uses fcntl(2)
to read lock the file, and will wait if blocked by another process
(see man fcntl(2).)
8) The module eval.c contains postfix_eval(), which is called for
each file searched in searchfile.c to compute the relevance of the
file by evaluating the postfix notation list-the functions that
compute the "and," "or," and "not" evaluations are contained in
this module. If the value of the relevance computed is greater
than zero, an element is allocated, and added to the relevance
list. This module also contains a description of how the
document's relevance is determined.
9) The module qsortlist.c is a general function that is used to
quick sort a linked list-in this case the relevance list-and is
called from main() in rel.c.
10) The module rel.c contains main(), which is the main dispatch
function to all program operations.
11) The module relclose.c is called to shut down all operations,
allocated memory, and close all directories and files that may
have been opened by this program. For specifics, see below under
"Exception and fault handling," and relclose.c.
12) The module message.c is a general error message look up table,
for printing error message in a systematic manner, for all modules
in the program. This module may contain port specific error
messages that are unique to a specific operating system. For
specifics, see message.c.
13) The module version.c contains only the version of the program,
and serves as a place holder for information from the revision
control system for automatic version control.
14) The module stack.h contains defines for all list operations in
all modules. The lists are treated as "stacks," and this module
contains the PUSH() and POP() defines for the stack
operations. This module is general, and is used on many different
types of data structures. For structure element requirements, see
stack.h.
15) The module memalloc.c is used as a general memory allocation
routine, and contains functions for allocating memory, and making
a list of the allocated the memory areas, such that it may be
deallocated when the program exits, perhaps under exception or
fault conditions.
Note that all file and directory operations are POSIX compliant
for portability reasons.
Exception and fault handling:
Since this program is a full text information retrieval system, it
is not unreasonable to assume that some of the modules may find
application in client/server architectures. This places
constraints on how the program handles fault and exception
issues. Note that it is not unreasonable to assume that signal
interrupt does NOT cause the program to exit in a client/server
environment, and, therefore, there can be no reliance on exit() to
deallocate memory, close files and directories, etc.
Specifically, the program must be capable of vectoring to a
routine that deallocates any and all memory that has been
allocated, and closes all files and directories that have been
opened to prevent "memory leaks" and file table overflows. Since
the modules are involved in list operations, in recursive
functions, a strategy must be deployed that unconditionally
deallocates all allocated memory, closes all files and
directories, and resets all variables in the program the to their
initial "state."
The basic strategy to address the issues of exception and fault
handling in client/server architectures is to Centralize memory
allocation, and file and directory functions in such a manner that
shutdown routines can be called from relclose() that will
deallocate all memory allocated (memdealloc() in memalloc.c,) and
close any files and/or directories (int_searchfile () in
searchfile.c, and int_searchpath () in searchpath.c,) that may
have been opened. The function, relclose() in relclose.c, is
installed as an "interrupt handler," in main(), in rel.c.

Since each module is autonomous, (with the exception of service
functions) each module has an associated ".h" include file that
declares function prototypes of external scoped variables and
functions. These files are are made available to other modules by
being included in rel.h, which is included in all module's "c"
source file. One of the issues is that an include file may not
have been read before a variable declared in the include file is
used in another include file, (there are several circular
dependencies in the include files.) To address this issue, each
module's include file sets a variable, the first time it is read
by the compiler, and if this variable is set, then any subsequent
reads will be skipped. This variable name is generally of the form
of the module name, concatenated with "_H".
Each "c" source file and associated include file has an "rcsid"
static character array that contains the revision control system
"signatures" for that file. This information is included, for both
the "c" source file and its associated include file, in all object
modules for audit and maintenence.
If the stylistics listed below are annoying, the indent program
from the gnu foundation, (anonymous ftp to prep.ai.mit in
/pub/gnu,) is available to convert from these stylistics to any
desirable.
Both ANSI X3.159-1989 and Kernighan and Ritchie standard
declarations are supported, with a typical construct:
#ifdef __STDC__
ANSI declarations.
#else
K&R declarations.
#endif
Brace/block declarations and constructs use the stylistic, for
example:
for (this < that; this < those; this ++)
{
that --;
}
as opposed to:
for (this < that; this < those; this ++) {
that --;
}
Nested if constructs use the stylistic, for example:
if (this)
{
if (that)
{
.
.
.
}
}
as opposed to:
if (this)
if (that)
.
.
.
The comments in the source code are verbose, and beyond the
necessity of commenting the program operation, and the one liberty
taken was to write the code on a 132 column display. Many of the
comments in the source code occupy the full 132 columns, (but do
not break up the code's flow with interline comments,) and are
incompatible with text editors like vi(1). If the verbose
comments are annoying, see the ./README file for a sed(1) script
to remove the comments.

rel.c, general program description and main function for rel
int main (int argc,char *argv[]);
handle program operations, on any error, fall through with the
error, and let retclose() handle the shutdown-returns NO_ERROR if
successful, an error number indicative of the error if not
The algorithm is as follows:
handle any command line options
note: this is a place holder in case it is desired to add
options in the future-currently, the only option is to request
the version of the program
check for enough arguments
install relclose as an interrupt handler
allocate sufficient space for the arguments to be parsed
allocate and copy the criteria argument from the command line
setup the uppercase array
transliterate the criteria argument
translate the criteria argument to postfix notation
compile the postfix stack
for each file/path argument
search the path/file
if the search(s) completed successfully
if there is any files that are relevant
sort the relevance stack
print the relevance stack
Usage is a call with a first argument of the infix notation for the
search criteria, followed by a lists of the paths/files to be
searched.
Errors are returned to the OS by a call to relclose() which contains
the only exit() function in the program
There is no test case for this module.

Revision 1.2 1996/09/13 13:47:23 john
Added handling of circularly linked directories and subdirectories in searchpath.c
Cosmetic changes to bmhsearch.c, postfix.c, rel.c, searchfile.c, translit.c, uppercase.c, version.c.
Revision 1.1 1996/02/08 02:55:10 john
Added hyphenation, backspace, and multiple whitespace capability.
Changes to files: uppercase.c translit.c searcfile.c rel.c and version.c-required for hyphenation, backspace, and multiple whitespace capability.

Note: The following statement prints information about the file. The
complete structure is available, and contains the count of matches,
etc. (See the RELEVANCE structure in searchpath.h for details.) For
example:
(void) printf ("%d\t%s:%s\n", file->count, "johncon.com", file->name);
could be used in a wide area, distributed, information retrieval
system, and would return records of the form:
21 johncon.com:/my_directory1/my_directory2/my_document
which could be collected from the machines on the network, and sorted
on the first field to provide a list of the documents, in order of
relevance, and viewed with a network wide "browser," that responds to
a request to view a file that contains the machine name where the file
resides, followed by a colon, followed by the the path name of the
file. The advantage of the schema is that the machines operate in
parallel in the distributed environment, enhancing performance while
maintaining the generality of the search mechanism, possibly including
intelligent hyphenation handling and phrase searches for partial
interior keywords. Concurrency issues are note relevant since
searchfile.c does a blocking lock if a file is write locked.
Depending on the desired formats, print options should probably be
implemented via command line switches, perhaps containing the machine
name.
