What they're doing is a mess of defines to declare different structures depending on what types and sizes you ask for, to make an efficient hardcoded hashtable. It's like C++ templates done by hand with nothing but messes of defines calling defines calling defines.
The header includes an example which I will try and comment and clarify for you.

Hi people I'm trying to do a school project and I've a situation wich is bothering me, imagine We've a program and that programs devided in multiple files "dotC1.c" and "dotC2.c" (for example) and they include our own header "header.h", and if We are using some libraries int both files it would...

Hi All,
I am trying to merge all files in a directory that end in *.txt to a single file with the contents one after the other. This I can do using the cat function but how do I put the name of the file as a header for each one in the combined single file and seperate the contents from each... (2 Replies)
Friends,
I need help with the following in UNIX.

FYI - All files are in same format and contains same headers.

Hi Team,
I'm looking for a command which removes files having 0 byte of having only header line (1 line).
My ETL process generates these files. Few files are not having header, in that case if no data from source, it will be 0 byte and few files are having header, in that case if no data from... (7 Replies)

hsearch(3C)hsearch(3C)NAME
hsearch(), hcreate(), hdestroy() - manage hash search tables
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
is a hash-table search routine generalized from Knuth (6.4) Algorithm D. It returns a pointer into a hash table indicating the location at
which an entry can be found. Only pointers are copied, so the calling routine must store the data (the value of the "key" must be unique).
item is a structure of type (defined in the header file) containing two pointers: points to the comparison key, and points to any other
data to be associated with that key. (Pointers to types other than character should be cast to pointer-to-character.) action is a member
of an enumeration type indicating the disposition of the entry if it cannot be found in the table. indicates that the item should be
inserted in the table at an appropriate point. indicates that no entry should be made. Unsuccessful resolution is indicated by the return
of a NULL pointer.
allocates sufficient space for the table, and must be called before is used. nel is an estimate of the maximum number of entries that the
table will contain. This number can be adjusted upward by the algorithm in order to obtain certain mathematically favorable circumstances.
destroys the search table, and can be followed by another call to
EXAMPLE
The following example reads in strings followed by two numbers and stores them in a hash table, discarding duplicates. It then reads in
strings and finds the matching entry in the hash table and prints it out.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <search.h>
struct info { /* this is the info stored in the table */
int age, room; /* other than the key. */
};
#define NUM_EMPL 5000 /* # of elements in search table */
main( )
{
/* space to store strings */
char string_space[NUM_EMPL*20];
/* space to store employee info */
struct info info_space[NUM_EMPL];
/* next avail space in string_space */
char *str_ptr = string_space;
/* next avail space in info_space */
struct info *info_ptr = info_space;
ENTRY item, *found_item, *hsearch( );
/* name to look for in table */
char name_to_find[30];
int i = 0;
/* create table */
(void) hcreate(NUM_EMPL);
while (scanf("%s%d%d", str_ptr, &info_ptr->age,
&info_ptr->room) != EOF && i++ < NUM_EMPL) {
/* put info in structure, and structure in item */
item.key = str_ptr;
item.data = (char *)info_ptr;
str_ptr += strlen(str_ptr) + 1;
info_ptr++;
/* put item into table */
(void) hsearch(item, ENTER);
}
/* access table */
item.key = name_to_find;
while (scanf("%s", item.key) != EOF) {
if ((found_item = hsearch(item, FIND)) != NULL) {
/* if item is in the table */
(void)printf("found %s, age = %d, room = %d
",
found_item->key,
((struct info *)found_item->data)->age,
((struct info *)found_item->data)->room);
} else {
(void)printf("no such employee %s
",
name_to_find);
}
}
}
RETURN VALUE
returns a NULL pointer if either the action is and the item could not be found or the action is and the table is full.
returns zero if it cannot allocate sufficient space for the table.
WARNINGS
and use to allocate space (see malloc(3C)).
Only one hash search table can be active at any given time.
