Generate hash value

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.
