authtable(3) hash table structure

DESCRIPTION

The authtable structure is used to describe an hash table.

The declarations needed to work on authtable are available in the header file "/labo/include/aut101.h", where '101' is the actual aut version.

The following C structure supports the description of an hash element :


  typedef struct authtable
  {
    authelem *TABLE;
    long      TABLE_SIZE;
    long      NUMBER_ELEM;
    long      NUMBER_ADD;
    long      NUMBER_SCAN;
    long      NUMBER_DEL;
    long      NUMBER_STRETCH;
  } authtable;
