NAME

Hash_DeleteTable − release storage in hash table

SYNOPSIS

#include <hash.h> Hash_DeleteTable(tablePtr)

ARGUMENTS

Hash_Table ∗tablePtr   (in) Pointer to hash table whose internal storage is to be released. 
 

DESCRIPTION

Hash_DeleteTable deletes all the entries in a hash table and also releases the table’s internal bucket storage back to the memory manager.  The Hash_Table structure at ∗tablePtr is not recycled to the memory manager (it is considered to belong to the caller), but the contents of ∗tablePtr are reset to indicate that the table is void.  Future operations on the table will result in core dumps,  unless Hash_InitTable gets called again to reset the table.
