HASH(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual HASH(9)NAME
hash, hash32_buf, hash32_str, hash32_strn -- kernel hash functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/hash.h>
uint32_t
hash32_buf(const void *buf, size_t len, uint32_t ihash);
uint32_t
hash32_str(const void *buf, uint32_t ihash);
uint32_t
hash32_strn(const void *buf, size_t len, uint32_t ihash);
DESCRIPTION
The hash functions returns a hash of the given buffer.
The hash32_buf() function returns a 32 bit hash of buf, which is len bytes long, seeded with an initial hash of ihash (which is usually
HASH32_BUF_INIT). This function may use a different algorithm to hash32_str() and hash32_strn().
The hash32_str() function returns a 32 bit hash of buf, which is a NUL terminated ASCII string, seeded with an initial hash of ihash (which
is usually HASH32_STR_INIT). This function must use the same algorithm as hash32_strn(), so that the same data returns the same hash.
The hash32_strn() function returns a 32 bit hash of buf, which is a NUL terminated ASCII string, up to a maximum of len bytes, seeded with an
initial hash of ihash (which is usually HASH32_STR_INIT). This function must use the same algorithm as hash32_str(), so that the same data
returns the same hash.
The ihash parameter is provided to allow for incremental hashing by allowing successive calls to use a previous hash value.
RETURN VALUES
The hash32_* functions return a 32 bit hash of the provided buffer.
HISTORY
The kernel hashing API first appeared in NetBSD 1.6.

Introduction
I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm
996 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.
I've got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:

I don't have a CD-ROM by that name and a web search for that... (21 Replies)
Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries. Now I had found a closed reference to adding time titled "add up time with xx:yy format in bash how?" In it, the example works great for that formatted list of times... This is the reply code...

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
