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.
