-.Dt CK_RHS_INIT 3
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm ck_rhs_init
-.Nd initialize a hash set
-.Sh LIBRARY
-Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In ck_rhs.h
-.Ft typedef unsigned long
-.Fn ck_rhs_hash_cb_t "const void *key" "unsigned long seed"
-.Ft typedef bool
-.Fn ck_rhs_compare_cb_t "const void *c1" "const void *c2"
-.Ft bool
-.Fn ck_rhs_init "ck_rhs_t *hs" "unsigned int mode" "ck_rhs_hash_cb_t *hash_function" "ck_rhs_compare_cb_t *compare" "struct ck_malloc *allocator" "unsigned long capacity" "unsigned long seed"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn ck_rhs_init
-function initializes the hash set pointed to by the
-.Fa hs
-pointer.
-.Pp
-The argument
-.Fa mode
-specifies the type of key-value pairs to be stored in the
-hash set as well as the expected concurrent access model.
-The value of
-.Fa mode
-consists of a bitfield of one of the following:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It CK_RHS_MODE_OBJECT
-The hash set is meant to store pointers to objects. This provides
-a hint that only CK_MD_VMA_BITS are necessary to encode the key
-argument. Any unused pointer bits are leveraged for internal
-optimizations.
-.It CK_RHS_MODE_DIRECT
-The hash set is meant to directly store key values and that all
-bits of the key are used to encode values.
-.It CK_RHS_MODE_READ_MOSTLY
-Optimize read operations over put/delete.
-.El
-.Pp
-The concurrent access model is specified by:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It CK_RHS_MODE_SPMC
-The hash set should allow for concurrent readers in the
-presence of a single writer.
-.It CK_RHS_MODE_MPMC
-The hash set should allow for concurrent readers in the
-presence of concurrent writers. This is currently unsupported.
-.El
-.Pp
-The developer is free to specify additional workload hints.
-These hints are one of:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.El
-.Pp
-The argument
-.Fa hash_function
-is a mandatory pointer to a user-specified hash function.
-A user-specified hash function takes two arguments. The
-.Fa key
-argument is a pointer to a key. The
-.Fa seed
-argument is the initial seed associated with the hash set.
-This initial seed is specified by the user in
-.Xr ck_rhs_init 3 .
-.Pp
-The
-.Fa compare
-argument is an optional pointer to a user-specified
-key comparison function. If NULL is specified in this
-argument, then pointer equality will be used to determine
-key equality. A user-specified comparison function takes
-two arguments representing pointers to the objects being
-compared for equality. It is expected to return true
-if the keys are of equal value and false otherwise.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fa allocator
-argument is a pointer to a structure containing
-.Fa malloc
-and
-.Fa free
-function pointers which respectively define the memory allocation and
-destruction functions to be used by the hash set being initialized.
-.Pp
-The argument
-.Fa capacity
-represents the initial number of keys the hash
-set is expected to contain. This argument is simply a hint
-and the underlying implementation is free to allocate more
-or less memory than necessary to contain the number of entries
-.Fa capacity
-specifies.
-.Pp
-The argument
-.Fa seed
-specifies the initial seed used by the underlying hash function.
-The user is free to choose a value of their choice.
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-Upon successful completion
-.Fn ck_rhs_init
-returns a value of
-.Dv true
-and otherwise returns a value of
-.Dv false
-to indicate an error.
-.Sh ERRORS
-.Bl -tag -width Er
-.Pp
-The behavior of
-.Fn ck_rhs_init
-is undefined if
-.Fa hs
-is not a pointer to a
-.Tn ck_rhs_t
-object.
