NAME

addhtitem - adds a new item in a hash table.

See the file man1/alc_origin.1.

SYNOPSIS

#include "mut.h"
void addhtitem(table, key, value)
ht ∗table;
void ∗key;
int value;

PARAMETERS

table

Hash table pointer

key

Key used by the hash coding function to add the item

value

Value associated with the key

DESCRIPTION

addhtitem() adds a new item in the hash table pointed to by table. If the key already exists, the old value is changed to the new one. Value must be distinct from EMPTYHT and DELETEHT. The length of the table increases automatically when the length given in addht() leads to a performance shut down.

EXAMPLE

#include "mut.h"
#include "mlo.h"
void conHenter(h, ptfig)
ht ∗h;
lofig_list ∗ptfig;
{
locon_list ∗ptcon;
	/∗ since connector names are unique, add them without check ∗/
	for (ptcon = p->LOCON; ptcon; ptcon = ptcon->NEXT)
		addhtitem(h, ptcon->NAME, 0);
}

ERRORS

"∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ addhtitem impossible : value is EMPTYHT or DELETEHT"

DIAGNOSTICS

The value must be distinct from -1 and -2.
