typedef uint32_t (*hashkit_hash_fn)(const char *key, size_t key_length, void *context)

Param key

the key to generate a hash of

Param key_length

the length of the key without any terminating zero byte

Param context

the custom hash function context set through hashkit_set_custom_function() or hashkit_set_custom_distribution_function()

Returns

the custom hash function should return a hash value for key as an unsigned 32bit integer

hashkit_return_t hashkit_set_function(hashkit_st *hash, hashkit_hash_algorithm_t hash_algorithm)

Parameters

• hash -- pointer to an initialized hashkit_st struct
• hash_algorithm -- valid hashkit_hash_algorithm_t constant

Returns

hashkit_return_t indicating success or failure

hashkit_return_t hashkit_set_custom_function(hashkit_st *hash, hashkit_hash_fn function, void *context)

Parameters

• hash -- pointer to initialized hashkit_st struct
• function -- hashkit_hash_fn function pointer to use as hash function for HASHKIT_HASH_CUSTOM
• context -- pointer to an opaque user managed context for the custom hash function

Returns

hashkit_return_t indicating success or failure

hashkit_hash_algorithm_t hashkit_get_function(const hashkit_st *hash)

Parameters

hash -- pointer to an initialized hashkit_st struct

Returns

hashkit_hash_algorithm_t indicating the currently set hash algorithm to use

hashkit_return_t hashkit_set_distribution_function(hashkit_st *hash, hashkit_hash_algorithm_t hash_algorithm)

Parameters

• hash -- pointer to an initialized hashkit_st struct
• hash_algorithm -- valid hashkit_hash_algrothm_t constant

Returns

hashkit_return_t indicating success or failure

hashkit_return_t hashkit_set_custom_distribution_function(hashkit_st *hash, hashkit_hash_fn function, void *context)

Parameters

• hash -- pointer to initialized hashkit_st struct
• function -- hashkit_hash_fn function pointer to use as distribution hash function for HASHKIT_HASH_CUSTOM
• context -- pointer to an opaque user managed context for the custom distribution hash function

hashkit_hash_algorithm_t hashkit_get_distribution_function(const hashkit_st *hash)

Parameters

hash -- pointer to an initialized hashkit_st struct

Returns

hashkit_hash_algorithm_t indicating the currently set distribution hash algorithm to use

These functions are used to set and retrieve the key and distribution hash functions.

hashkit_set_function(), hashkit_set_custom_function() and the distribution equivalents return hashkit_return_t::HASHKIT_SUCCESS on success.

hashkit_get_function() and hashkit_get_distribution_function() return hashkit_hash_algorithm_t indicating the hash function used.
