 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 
-
 :func:`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.
 
-The allowed hash algorithm constants are listed in the manpage for
-:func:`memcached_behavior_set`.
+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.
 
 :func:`memcached_generate_hash` takes a :type:`memcached_st` structure
 and produces the hash value that would have been generated based on the 
@@ -66,19 +72,13 @@ defaults of :type:`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.

+RETURN 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.
