DESCRIPTION
       memcached_generate_hash_value()	allows	you  to hash a key using one of the hash functions defined in the library. This method is provided
       for the convenience of higher-level language bindings and is not necessary for normal memcache operations.

       The allowed hash algorithm constants are listed in the manpage for memcached_behavior_set().

       memcached_generate_hash() takes a memcached_st struture and produces the hash value that would have been generated based on the defaults of
       memcached_st.

       As of version 0.36 all hash methods have been placed into the library libhashkit(3) which is linked with libmemcached(3). For more informa-
       tion please see its documentation.

RETURN
       A 32-bit integer which is the result of hashing the given key.  For  64-bit  hash  algorithms,  only  the  least-significant  32  bits  are
       returned.
