6 * Idea here is very simple.
8 * We have total of (sz-N+1) N-byte overlapping sequences in buf whose
9 * size is sz. If the same N-byte sequence appears in both source and
10 * destination, we say the byte that starts that sequence is shared
11 * between them (i.e. copied from source to destination).
13 * For each possible N-byte sequence, if the source buffer has more
14 * instances of it than the destination buffer, that means the
15 * difference are the number of bytes not copied from source to
16 * destination. If the counts are the same, everything was copied
17 * from source to destination. If the destination has more,
18 * everything was copied, and destination added more.
20 * We are doing an approximation so we do not really have to waste
21 * memory by actually storing the sequence. We just hash them into
22 * somewhere around 2^16 hashbuckets and count the occurrences.
24 * The length of the sequence is arbitrarily set to 8 for now.
