NAME
hashkit_default, hashkit_fnv1_64, hashkit_fnv1a_64, hashkit_fnv1_32,
hashkit_fnv1a_32, hashkit_crc32, hashkit_hsieh, hashkit_murmur,
hashkit_jenkins, hashkit_md5 - Various hash functions to use for
calculating values for keys
LIBRARY
C Library for hashing algorithms (libhashkit, -lhashkit)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libhashkit/hashkit.h>
uint32_t hashkit_default(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_fnv1_64(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_fnv1a_64(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_fnv1_32(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_fnv1a_32(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_crc32(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_hsieh(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_murmur(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_jenkins(const char *key, size_t key_length);
uint32_t hashkit_md5(const char *key, size_t key_length);
DESCRIPTION
These functions generate hash values from a key using a variety of
algorithms. These functions can be used standalone, or as arguments to
hashkit_set_hash_fn(3) or hashkit_set_continuum_hash_fn(3).
The hashkit_hsieh() is only available if the library is built with the
appropriate flag enabled.
RETURN VALUE
A 32-bit hash value.
