memcached_generate_hash - Generating hash values directly

memcached_generate_hash_value() allows you to hash a key using one of the hash functions defined in the library. This method is provided for the convenience of higher-level language bindings and is not necessary for normal memcache operations. Support for MEMCACHED_HASH_HSIEH is a compile time option that is disabled by default. To enable tests for this hashing algorithm, configure and build libmemcached with the Hsieh hash enabled. memcached_generate_hash() takes a memcached_st structure and produces the hash value that would have been generated based on the defaults of memcached_st. As of version 0.36 all hash methods have been placed into the library libhashkit(3) which is linked with libmemcached(3). For more information please see its documentation.

memcached_generate_hash - Generating hash values directly Hash a key value

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.
