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.
