.Dt CK_HT_ENTRY_KEY_SET 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm ck_ht_entry_key_set
.Nd initialize pointer to key in hash table entry
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_ht.h
.Ft void
.Fn ck_ht_entry_key_set "ck_ht_entry_t *entry" "const void *key" "uint16_t key_length"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ck_ht_entry_key_set
function will initialize the object pointed to by
.Fa entry
with a key pointed to by the
.Fa key
argument. The length of the key is specified by
.Fa key_length.
The maximum value of
.Fa key_length
is defined by the CK_HT_KEY_LENGTH macro.
This function is typically used to initialize an
entry for
.Xr ck_ht_get_spmc 3
and
.Xr ck_ht_remove_spmc 3
operations. It is expected that the entry will
be associated with a hash table initialized with
.Dv CK_HT_MODE_BYTESTRING
(see
.Xr ck_ht_init 3
for more information).
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn ck_ht_entry_key_set
has no return value.
.Sh ERRORS
This function will never fail.
