HCREATE - create hash table.

(Compatible with UNIX System V)

Usage:

#include <search.h>
int hcreate();
stat = hcreate(nentries);

Where:

unsigned nentries;

is the maximum number of entries that the table will be asked to hold. The allocated table might actually be slightly bigger than this, in order to accommodate requirements of the hashing algorithm.

int stat;

is non-zero if the table was successfully allocated, and zero if the allocation failed for some reason.

Description:

The "hcreate" function creates a hash table. Entries may be made in the table using the "hsearch" function. A program may only have one hash table at a time.
