Synopsis

int ohtbl_insert(OHTbl *htbl, const void *data);

Return Value

0 if inserting the element is successful, 1 if the element is already in the hash table, or -1 otherwise.

Description

Inserts an element into the open-addressed hash table specified by htbl. The new element contains a pointer to data, so the memory referenced by data should remain valid as long as the element remains in the hash table. It is the responsibility of the caller to manage the storage associated with data.
