CK_HT_RESET_SPMC(3)

💖 CK_HT_RESET_SPMC(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the ck_ht_reset_spmc page from the Concurrency Kit manual, and it's literally the "nuke everything" button for your hash table 🧹✨

🌸 LIBRARY 🌸

Concurrency Kit, aka libck — you link it with -lck. yes that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ck_ht.h>

bool
ck_ht_reset_spmc(ck_ht_t *ht);

look at her. one include, one function, zero drama. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the ck_ht_reset_spmc() function will remove ALL key-value pairs stored in the hash table pointed to by the ht argument. every single one. gone. not a soft reset, not a lil tidy-up — the whole table is getting emptied, and honestly? sometimes that's the self-care we need. 💀✨

it's giving "fresh start, no baggage, main character energy." 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

if it worked, ck_ht_reset_spmc() returns true and you can go celebrate 🎉

otherwise it returns false. and ngl, there's exactly one way that happens: a replacement hash table could not be allocated internally. that's it, that's the only fail condition — so if you see false, it's an allocation situation, not a "you did something weird" situation. 😭

fr fr, check your allocation path before you blame yourself, bestie.
