|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In search.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn hcreate "size_t nel"
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn hdestroy void
|
|
.Ft ENTRY *
|
|
.Fn hsearch "ENTRY item" "ACTION action"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hcreate ,
|
|
.Fn hdestroy ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn hsearch
|
|
functions manage hash search tables.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hcreate
|
|
function allocates sufficient space for the table, and the application should
|
|
ensure it is called before
|
|
.Fn hsearch
|
|
is used.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa nel
|
|
argument is an estimate of the maximum
|
|
number of entries that the table should contain.
|
|
This number may be adjusted upward by the
|
|
algorithm in order to obtain certain mathematically favorable circumstances.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hdestroy
|
|
function disposes of the search table, and may be followed by another call to
|
|
.Fn hcreate .
|
|
After the call to
|
|
.Fn hdestroy ,
|
|
the data can no longer be considered accessible.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hdestroy
|
|
function calls
|
|
.Xr free 3
|
|
for each comparison key in the search table
|
|
but not the data item associated with the key.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hsearch
|
|
function is a hash-table search routine.
|
|
It returns a pointer into a hash table
|
|
indicating the location at which an entry can be found.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa item
|
|
argument is a structure of type
|
|
.Vt ENTRY
|
|
(defined in the
|
|
.In search.h
|
|
header) containing two pointers:
|
|
.Fa item.key
|
|
points to the comparison key (a
|
|
.Vt "char *" ) ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa item.data
|
|
(a
|
|
.Vt "void *" )
|
|
points to any other data to be associated with
|
|
that key.
|
|
The comparison function used by
|
|
.Fn hsearch
|
|
is
|
|
.Xr strcmp 3 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
argument is a
|
|
member of an enumeration type
|
|
.Vt ACTION
|
|
indicating the disposition of the entry if it cannot be
|
|
found in the table.
|
|
.Dv ENTER
|
|
indicates that the
|
|
.Fa item
|
|
should be inserted in the table at an
|
|
appropriate point.
|
|
.Dv FIND
|
|
indicates that no entry should be made.
|
|
Unsuccessful resolution is
|
|
indicated by the return of a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The comparison key (passed to
|
|
.Fn hsearch
|
|
as
|
|
.Fa item.key )
|
|
must be allocated using
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
if
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv ENTER
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn hdestroy
|
|
is called.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hcreate
|
|
function returns 0 if the table creation failed and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error;
|
|
otherwise, a non-zero value is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hdestroy
|
|
function does not return a value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hsearch
|
|
function returns a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer if either the
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv FIND
|
|
and the
|
|
.Fa item
|
|
could not be found or the
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv ENTER
|
|
and the table is full.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following example reads in strings followed by two numbers
|
|
and stores them in a hash table, discarding duplicates.
|
|
It then reads in strings and finds the matching entry in the hash
|
|
table and prints it out.
