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 memcached_st.

       As of version 0.36 all hash methods have been placed into the library libhashkit(3) which is linked  with
       libmemcached(3). For more information please see its documentation.

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.
