NAME

       hashkit_is_allocated - libhashkit Documentation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libhashkit-1.0/hashkit.h>
              Compile and link with -lhashkit

       typedef struct hashkit_st hashkit_st

       hashkit_st *hashkit_create(hashkit_st *hash)

              Parameters
                     hash  --  memory address of a hashkit_st struct; if a nullptr is passed, the
                     struct will be dynamically allocated by libhashkit

              Returns
                     pointer to initialized hashkit_st structure

       hashkit_st *hashkit_clone(hashkit_st *destination, const hashkit_st *ptr)

              Parameters

                     • destination -- memory address of a hashkit_st  struct;  if  a  nullptr  is
                       passed, the struct will be dynamically allocated by libhashkit

                     • ptr -- pointer of the hashkit_st struct to copy

              Returns
                     pointer to a hashkit_st structure (destination, if not nullptr), initialized
                     from ptr

       void hashkit_free(hashkit_st *hash)

              Parameters
                     hash -- pointer to an initialized hashkit_st struct

       bool hashkit_is_allocated(const hashkit_st *hash)

              Parameters
                     hash -- pointer to an initialized hashkit_st struct

              Returns
                     bool, whether the hash struct was dynamically allocated

DESCRIPTION

       The hashkit_create() function initializes a hashkit object for use. If you pass a  nullptr
       argument  for  hash,  then  the  memory  for  the  object  is  allocated. If you specify a
       pre-allocated piece of memory, that is initialized for use.

       The hashkit_clone() function initializes a hashkit object much like hashkit_create(),  but
       instead of using default settings it will use the settings of the ptr hashkit object.

       The  hashkit_free()  frees  any  resources being consumed by the hashkit objects that were
       initialized with hashkit_create() or hashkit_clone().

       The hashkit_is_allocated() reports whether the memory was allocated for a hashkit object.

RETURN VALUE

       hashkit_create() and  hashkit_clone()  will  return  nullptr  on  failure  or  pointer  to
       hashkit_st on success.

       hashkit_is_allocated()  returns  true  if  the memory for the hashkit object was allocated
       inside of hashkit_create() or hashkit_clone(), otherwise it is false and was user-supplied
       memory.
