Are you serious? It's called pseudo-code ... you use plain English in
the style of a programming language in order to convey an algorithm,
not to show something that will compile. Many textbooks from the
realm of computer science make use of pseudo-code. Sometimes, the
exercises at the end of a chapter will even say, ``Implement the
pseudo-code on page x.''
To see FreeBSD's actual implementation of disksort(), see the file
/sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_disksubr.c
