addht(3)
create an hash table
SYNOPSYS
#include "mut.h"
ht *addht(len)
unsigned int len;
PARAMETER
- len
-
Number of entries in the hash table
DESCRIPTION
addht() creates a new hash table in memory.
len is an estimate of the maximum number of entries that the
table will contain.
This number may be automatically adjusted when using access functions
by a dynamic reallocation, in order to warranty fast access time.
EXAMPLE
#include "mut.h"
ht *sigHtable(ptfig) /* h table suitable for signals */
lofig_list *ptfig;
{
losig_list *ptsig = ptfig->LOSIG;
unsigned int i = 0;
while (ptsig) {
i++;
ptsig = ptsig->NEXT;
}
return addht(i);
}
ERROR
"*** mbk error *** illegal addht : len is '0'"
-
The hash table size cannot be zero, guess why!
