56 .SH DESCRIPTION
57 .sp
58 These functions generate hash values from a key using a variety of
59 algorithms. These functions can be used standalone, or as arguments
60 to hashkit_set_hash_fn(3) or hashkit_set_continuum_hash_fn(3).
61 .sp
62 The hashkit_hsieh() is only available if the library is built with
63 the appropriate flag enabled.
64 .SH RETURN VALUE
65 .sp
66 A 32\-bit hash value.
