libopenbsd is an internal library which to bring in compatibility stuff from OpenBSD. This will allow us to bring in more OpenBSD utilities into the FreeBSD base system. We similarly use libnetbsd for bringing in stuff from NetBSD. Reviewed by: bapt Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4078

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are commonly used to simplify open hashing usage, and use
|
|
similar conventions.
|
|
They operate indifferently on NUL-terminated strings
|
|
.Po
|
|
by setting
|
|
.Fa *pend
|
|
=
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
.Pc
|
|
or memory ranges
|
|
.Po
|
|
delimited by
|
|
.Fa start
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa *pend
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
For NUL-terminated strings, as a side effect, those functions
|
|
set
|
|
.Fa *pend
|
|
to the terminating NUL byte.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_interval
|
|
is a simple hashing function that yields good results on common data sets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_create_entry
|
|
can be used to create a new record with a given key.
|
|
In that case,
|
|
the alloc field of
|
|
.Fa info
|
|
should point to a
|
|
.Xr malloc 3 Ns -like
|
|
function to allocate the storage:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
p = (*info->alloc)(sz, info->data);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_qlookupi
|
|
is a wrapper function that simply calls
|
|
.Fn ohash_interval
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ohash_lookup_interval .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn ohash_qlookup
|
|
is a variation on
|
|
.Fn ohash_qlookupi
|
|
designed for NUL-terminated strings.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr ohash_init 3
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
Those functions are completely non-standard and should be avoided in
|
|
portable programs.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
Those functions were designed and written for
|
|
.Ox
|
|
.Xr make 1
|
|
by Marc Espie in 1999.
