NAME

       memcached_generate_hash_value - Hash a key value

LIBRARY

       C Client Library for memcached (libmemcached, -lmemcached)

SYNOPSIS

         #include <memcached.h>

         uint32_t
           memcached_generate_hash_value (const char *key,
                                          size_t key_length,
                                          memcached_hash_t hash_algorithm);

         uint32_t
           memcached_generate_hash (memcached_st *ptr,
                                    const char *key,
                                    size_t key_length);

DESCRIPTION

       memcached_generate_hash_value() allows you to hash a key using one of the hash functions defined in the
       library. This method is provided for the convenience of higher-level language bindings and is not
       necessary for normal memcache operations.

       The allowed hash algorithm constants are listed in the manpage for memcached_behavior_set().

       memcached_generate_hash() takes a memcached_st struture and produces the hash value that would have been
       generated based on the defaults of the memcached_st structure.

       As of version 0.36 all hash methods have been placed into the library libhashkit(3) which is linked with
       libmemcached(3).

RETURN

       A 32-bit integer which is the result of hashing the given key.  For 64-bit hash algorithms, only the
       least-significant 32 bits are returned.
