=head1 NAME

hashkit_create, hashkit_clone, hashkit_free, hashkit_is_allocated -
Create and destroy hashkit objects

=head1 LIBRARY

C Library for hashing algorithms (libhashkit, -lhashkit)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #include <libhashkit/hashkit.h>

  hashkit_st *hashkit_create(hashkit_st *hash);

  hashkit_st *hashkit_clone(hashkit_st *destination, const hashkit_st *ptr);

  void hashkit_free(hashkit_st *hash);

  bool hashkit_is_allocated(const hashkit_st *hash);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The hashkit_create() function initializes a hashkit object for use. If
you pass a NULL argument for hash, then the memory for the object is
allocated. If you specify a pre-allocated piece of memory, that is
initialized for use.

The hashkit_clone() function initializes a hashkit object much like
hashkit_create(), but instead of using default settings it will use
the settings of the ptr hashkit object.

The hashkit_free() frees any resources being consumed by the hashkit
objects that were initialized with hashkit_create() or hashkit_clone().

The hashkit_is_allocated() reports where the memory was allocated 
for a hashkit object.

=head1 RETURN VALUE

hashkit_create() and hashkit_clone() will return NULL on failure or
non-NULL on success.

hashkit_is_allocated() returns true if the memory for the hashkit
object was allocated inside of hashkit_create() or hashkit_clone(),
otherwise it is false and was user-supplied memory.
