=head1 DESCRIPTION
This library implements type-checked dynamic hash tables. The hash
table entries can be arbitrary structures. Usually they consist of key
-and value fields.
+and value fields. In the description here, I<TYPE> is used a placeholder
+for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as I<SSL_SESSION>.
-lh_<type>_new() creates a new B<LHASH_OF(<type>> structure to store
+lh_TYPE_new() creates a new B<LHASH_OF(TYPE)> structure to store
arbitrary data entries, and provides the 'hash' and 'compare'
callbacks to be used in organising the table's entries. The B<hash>
callback takes a pointer to a table entry as its argument and returns
B<compare> callbacks hash/compare these types, then the
B<DECLARE_LHASH_HASH_FN> and B<IMPLEMENT_LHASH_COMP_FN> macros can be
used to create callback wrappers of the prototypes required by
-lh_<type>_new(). These provide per-variable casts before calling the
+lh_TYPE_new(). These provide per-variable casts before calling the
type-specific callbacks written by the application author. These
macros, as well as those used for the "doall" callbacks, are defined
as;

-lh_<type>_free() frees the B<LHASH_OF(<type>> structure

-lh_<type>_insert() inserts the structure pointed to by B<data> into
+lh_TYPE_insert() inserts the structure pointed to by B<data> into
B<table>. If there already is an entry with the same key, the old
-value is replaced. Note that lh_<type>_insert() stores pointers, the

data are not copied.

TYPE_retrieve() looks up an entry in B<table>. Normally, B<data>

+lh_TYPE_doall() will, for every entry in the hash table, call
+B<func> with the data item as its parameter. For lh_TYPE_doall()
+and lh_TYPE_doall_arg(), function pointer casting should be avoided
in the callbacks (see B<NOTE>) - instead use the declare/implement
macros to create type-checked wrappers that cast variables prior to
calling your type-specific callbacks. An example of this is
The best solution is probably to avoid deleting items from the hash
table inside a "doall" callback!
-lh_<type>_doall_arg() is the same as lh_<type>_doall() except that
+lh_TYPE_doall_arg() is the same as lh_TYPE_doall() except that
B<func> will be called with B<arg> as the second argument and B<func>
should be of type B<LHASH_DOALL_ARG_FN_TYPE> (a callback prototype
that is passed both the table entry and an extra argument). As with
lh_STUFF_doall_arg(hashtable, LHASH_DOALL_ARG_FN(STUFF_print), BIO,
logging_bio);
-lh_<type>_error() can be used to determine if an error occurred in the last
-operation. lh_<type>_error() is a macro.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
-lh_<type>_new() returns B<NULL> on error, otherwise a pointer to the new
+lh_TYPE_new() returns B<NULL> on error, otherwise a pointer to the new
B<LHASH> structure.
-When a hash table entry is replaced, lh_<type>_insert() returns the value
+When a hash table entry is replaced, lh_TYPE_insert() returns the value
being replaced. B<NULL> is returned on normal operation and on error.
-lh_<type>_delete() returns the entry being deleted. B<NULL> is returned if
+lh_TYPE_delete() returns the entry being deleted. B<NULL> is returned if
there is no such value in the hash table.
-lh_<type>_retrieve() returns the hash table entry if it has been found,
+lh_TYPE_retrieve() returns the hash table entry if it has been found,
B<NULL> otherwise.
-lh_<type>_error() returns 1 if an error occurred in the last operation, 0
+lh_TYPE_error() returns 1 if an error occurred in the last operation, 0
otherwise.
-lh_<type>_free(), lh_<type>_doall() and lh_<type>_doall_arg() return no values.
+lh_TYPE_free(), lh_TYPE_doall() and lh_TYPE_doall_arg() return no values.

=head1 BUGS
