       hashkit_value - libhashkit Documentation

SYNOPSIS

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

       uint32_t hashkit_value(hashkit_st *hash, const char *key, size_t key_length)

              Parameters

                     • hash -- pointer to an initialized hashkit_st struct

                     • key -- the key to genereate a hash of

                     • key_length -- the length of the key without any terminating zero byte

DESCRIPTION

       The  hashkit_value()  function  generates  a  32-bit  hash  value  from  the given key and
       key_length. The hash argument is an initialized hashkit object, and distribution type  and
       hash function is used from this object while generating the value.

RETURN VALUE

       A 32-bit hash value.
