memcached_generate_hash_value - Hash a key value
C Client Library for memcached (libmemcached, -lmemcached)
#include <memcached.h> uint32_t memcached_generate_hash_value (const char *key, size_t key_length, memcached_hash hash_algorithm); uint32_t memcached_generate_hash (memcached_st *ptr, const char *key, size_t key_length);
memcached_generate_hash_value() allows you to hash a key using one of the hash fuctions defined in the library. This method is provided for the convenience of higher-level language bindings and is not necessary for normal memcache operations.
The allowed hash algorithm constants are listed in the manpage for memcached_behavior_set().
memcached_generate_hash() takes a memcached_st struture and produces the hash value that would have been generated based on the defaults of the memcached_st structure.
A 32-bit integer which is the result of hashing the given key. For 64-bit hash algorithms, only the least-significant 32 bits are returned.
