+.Nm hsearch
+.Nd manage hash search table
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <search.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn hcreate "size_t nel"
+.Ft void
+.Fn hdestroy "void"
+.Ft ENTRY *
+.Fn hsearch "ENTRY item" "ACTION action"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn hcreate ,
+.Fn hdestroy
+and
+.Fn hsearch
+functions manage hash search tables.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn hcreate
+function allocates and initializes the table.
+The
+.Fa nel
+argument specifies an estimate of the maximum number of entries to be held
+by the table.  Unless further memory allocation fails, supplying an
+insufficient
+.Fa nel
+value will not result in functional harm, although a performance degradation
+may occur.
+Initialization using the
+.Fn hcreate
+function is mandatory prior to any access operations using
+.Fn hsearch .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn hdestroy
+function destroys a table previously created using
+.Fn hcreate .
+After a call to
+.Fn hdestroy ,
+the data can no longer be accessed.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn hsearch
+function is used to search to the hash table.  It returns a pointer into the
+hash table indicating the address of an item.  The
+.Fa item
+argument is of type
+.Dv ENTRY ,
+a structural type which contains the following members:
+.Bl -tag -compact -offset indent -width voidX*dataXX
+.It Fa char *key
+comparison key.
+.It Fa void *data
+pointer to data associated with
+.Fa key .
+.El
+.Pp
+The key comparison function used by
+.Fn hsearch
+is
+.Xr strcmp 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa action
+argument is of type
+.Dv ACTION ,
+an enumeration type which defines the following values:
+.Bl -tag -compact -offset indent -width ENTERXX
+.It Dv ENTER
+Insert
+.Fa item
+into the hash table.
+If an existing item with the same key is found, it is not replaced.
+Note that the
+.Fa key
+and
+.Fa data
+elements of
+.Fa item
+are used directly by the new table entry.  The storage for the
+key must not be modified during the lifetime of the hash table.
+.It Dv FIND
+Search the hash table without inserting
+.Fa item .
+.El
+.Pp
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful, the
+.Fn hcreate
+function returns a non-zero value.  Otherwise, a value of 0 is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn hdestroy
+functions
+returns no value.
+.Pp
+If successful, the
+.Fn hsearch
+function returns a pointer to hash table entry matching
+the provided key.
+If the action is
+.Dv FIND
+and the item was not found, or if the action is
+.Dv ENTER
+and the insertion failed,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+If the action is
+.Dv ENTER
+and an entry already existed in the table matching the given
+key, the existing entry is returned and is not replaced.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn hcreate
+and
+.Fn hsearch
+functions will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory is available.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Xr lsearch 3 ,
+.Xr malloc 3 ,
+.Xr strcmp 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn hcreate ,
+.Fn hdestroy
+and
+.Fn hsearch
+functions conform to
+.St -xpg4.2 .
+.Sh BUGS
+.Pp
+The interface permits the use of only one hash table at a time.
+.Sh HISTORY

+.Fn hcreate ,

+.Fn hsearch
+functions first appeared in
