EC_MURMURHASH3(3)

✨ EC_MURMURHASH3(3) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Libecoli Programmer's Manual rn and this is the ec_murmurhash3 page 🎀 it does exactly one thing and it does it gorgeously: it hands you a 32-bit murmurhash3. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_murmurhash3 — calculate a 32-bit murmurhash3. no cap, that's literally the job description. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta let it in:

#include <ecoli/murmurhash.h>

then it's giving function signature:

uint32_t ec_murmurhash3(
    /*
     * The key (the unaligned variable-length array of bytes).
     */
    const void   *key,
    int           len,   /* The length of the key, counting by bytes. */
    uint32_t      seed   /* Can be any 4-byte value initialization value. */
);

let's walk the params because they're all main characters here 👑

• key — the key itself, aka the unaligned variable-length array of bytes. yes, unaligned, yes, variable-length, she contains multitudes 💖
• len — the length of the key, and we're counting by bytes, not vibes 🫶
• seed — can be any 4-byte value initialization value. literally any one. go feral, pick your fave 🎀

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

a 32-bit hash. that's the tea. ☕✨
