NAME

       addht - create an hash table

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mut.h"
       ht ∗addht(len)
       unsigned int len;

PARAMETER

       len                 Number of entries in the hash table

DESCRIPTION

       addht()  creates  a new hash table in memory.  len is an estimate of the maximum number of
       entries that the table will contain.  This number may be automatically adjusted when using
       access functions by a dynamic reallocation, in order to warranty fast access time.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mut.h"
       ht ∗sigHtable(ptfig) /∗ h table suitable for signals ∗/
       lofig_list ∗ptfig;
       {
       losig_list ∗ptsig = ptfig->LOSIG;
       unsigned int i = 0;
          while (ptsig) {
             i++;
             ptsig = ptsig->NEXT;
          }
          return addht(i);
       }

ERROR

       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ illegal addht : len is '0'"
              The hash table size cannot be zero, guess why!
