This is the pre-mmh version of sbr/m_getfld.c (dated 2008-12-26).
The current version is still unbearbable, but this one is original.

/* This module has a long and checkered history.  First, it didn't burst
   maildrops correctly because it considered two CTRL-A:s in a row to be
   an inter-message delimiter.  It really is four CTRL-A:s followed by a
   newline.  Unfortunately, MMDF will convert this delimiter *inside* a
   message to a CTRL-B followed by three CTRL-A:s and a newline.  This
   caused the old version of m_getfld() to declare eom prematurely.  The
   fix was a lot slower than

		c == '\001' && peekc (iob) == '\001'

   but it worked, and to increase generality, MBOX style maildrops could
   be parsed as well.  Unfortunately the speed issue finally caught up with
   us since this routine is at the very heart of MH.

   To speed things up considerably, the routine Eom() was made an auxiliary
   function called by the macro eom().  Unless we are bursting a maildrop,
   the eom() macro returns FALSE saying we aren't at the end of the
   message.

   The next thing to do is to read the mts.conf file and initialize
   delimiter[] and delimlen accordingly...

   After mhl was made a built-in in msh, m_getfld() worked just fine
   (using m_unknown() at startup).  Until one day: a message which was
   the result of a bursting was shown. Then, since the burst boundaries
   aren't CTRL-A:s, m_getfld() would blinding plunge on past the boundary.
   Very sad.  The solution: introduce m_eomsbr().  This hook gets called
   after the end of each line (since testing for eom involves an fseek()).
   This worked fine, until one day: a message with no body portion arrived.
   Then the

		   while (eom (c = Getc (iob), iob))
			continue;

   loop caused m_getfld() to return FMTERR.  So, that logic was changed to
   check for (*eom_action) and act accordingly.

   This worked fine, until one day: someone didn't use four CTRL:A's as
   their delimiters.  So, the bullet got bit and we read mts.h and
   continue to struggle on.  It's not that bad though, since the only time
   the code gets executed is when inc (or msh) calls it, and both of these
   have already called mts_init().

   ------------------------
   (Written by Van Jacobson for the mh6 m_getfld, January, 1986):

   This routine was accounting for 60% of the cpu time used by most mh
   programs.  I spent a bit of time tuning and it now accounts for <10%
   of the time used.  Like any heavily tuned routine, it's a bit
   complex and you want to be sure you understand everything that it's
   doing before you start hacking on it.  Let me try to emphasize
   that:  every line in this atrocity depends on every other line,
   sometimes in subtle ways.  You should understand it all, in detail,
   before trying to change any part.  If you do change it, test the
   result thoroughly (I use a hand-constructed test file that exercises
   all the ways a header name, header body, header continuation,
   header-body separator, body line and body eom can align themselves
   with respect to a buffer boundary).  "Minor" bugs in this routine
   result in garbaged or lost mail.

   If you hack on this and slow it down, I, my children and my
   children's children will curse you.

   This routine gets used on three different types of files: normal,
   single msg files, "packed" unix or mmdf mailboxs (when used by inc)
   and packed, directoried bulletin board files (when used by msh).
   The biggest impact of different file types is in "eom" testing.  The
   code has been carefully organized to test for eom at appropriate
   times and at no other times (since the check is quite expensive).
   I have tried to arrange things so that the eom check need only be
   done on entry to this routine.  Since an eom can only occur after a
   newline, this is easy to manage for header fields.  For the msg
   body, we try to efficiently search the input buffer to see if
   contains the eom delimiter.  If it does, we take up to the
   delimiter, otherwise we take everything in the buffer.  (The change
   to the body eom/copy processing produced the most noticeable
   performance difference, particularly for "inc" and "show".)

   There are three qualitatively different things this routine busts
   out of a message: field names, field text and msg bodies.  Field
   names are typically short (~8 char) and the loop that extracts them
   might terminate on a colon, newline or max width.  I considered
   using a Vax "scanc" to locate the end of the field followed by a
   "bcopy" but the routine call overhead on a Vax is too large for this
   to work on short names.  If Berkeley ever makes "inline" part of the
   C optimiser (so things like "scanc" turn into inline instructions) a
   change here would be worthwhile.

   Field text is typically 60 - 100 characters so there's (barely)
   a win in doing a routine call to something that does a "locc"
   followed by a "bmove".  About 30% of the fields have continuations
   (usually the 822 "received:" lines) and each continuation generates
   another routine call.  "Inline" would be a big win here, as well.

   Messages, as of this writing, seem to come in two flavors: small
   (~1K) and long (>2K).  Most messages have 400 - 600 bytes of headers
   so message bodies average at least a few hundred characters.
   Assuming your system uses reasonably sized stdio buffers (1K or
   more), this routine should be able to remove the body in large
   (>500 byte) chunks.  The makes the cost of a call to "bcopy"
   small but there is a premium on checking for the eom in packed
   maildrops.  The eom pattern is always a simple string so we can
   construct an efficient pattern matcher for it (e.g., a Vax "matchc"
   instruction).  Some thought went into recognizing the start of
   an eom that has been split across two buffers.

   This routine wants to deal with large chunks of data so, rather
   than "getc" into a local buffer, it uses stdio's buffer.  If
   you try to use it on a non-buffered file, you'll get what you
   deserve.  This routine "knows" that struct FILEs have a _ptr
   and a _cnt to describe the current state of the buffer and
   it knows that _filbuf ignores the _ptr & _cnt and simply fills
   the buffer.  If stdio on your system doesn't work this way, you
   may have to make small changes in this routine.
   
   This routine also "knows" that an EOF indication on a stream is
   "sticky" (i.e., you will keep getting EOF until you reposition the
   stream).  If your system doesn't work this way it is broken and you
   should complain to the vendor.  As a consequence of the sticky
   EOF, this routine will never return any kind of EOF status when
   there is data in "name" or "buf").
