#include <libelf.h> unsigned long
elf_hash (const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
Function
elf_hash ();
computes a portable hash value for the null terminated string
pointed to by argument
name
The hash value returned is will be identical across
machines of different architectures.
This allows hash tables to be built on one machine and
correctly used on another of a different architecture.
The hash value returned is also guaranteed
not
to be the bit pattern of all ones (~0UL).
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The library internally uses unsigned 32 bit arithmetic to compute
the hash value.
