QB_HASHTABLE_CREATE(3)

💖 QB_HASHTABLE_CREATE(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the libqb Programmer's Manual ✨ this one's a lil baby page but it's lowkey iconic — it's how you manifest a whole unsorted map out of thin air, powered by a hashtable. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qb_hashtable_create — create an unsorted map based on a hashtable 💅

fr fr, that's the whole vibe: you want a map, the map is unsorted, and the engine under the hood is a hashtable.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qb/qbmap.h>

qb_map_t * qb_hashtable_create(
    size_t  max_size   /* maximum size of the hashtable*/
);

so you pull in qb/qbmap.h, and you call qb_hashtable_create with exactly one argument. that's it. that's the whole ritual 🎀

---

🦋 PARAMS 🦋

• max_size — maximum size of the hashtable. yes literally, that's the cap. that's what it means. the hashtable has a maximum size and this is it. 🌈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

ngl bestie, this section is giving absolutely nothing — the original manpage leaves it empty, so we're leaving it empty too. no invented lore, we don't do that here 🙈 the SYNOPSIS and PARAMS said what needed to be said. periodt.

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• the map instance 🫶

like, you get a map back. a whole map. main character energy.

heads up: qb_map_t * is the type you're catching it in, and it's a pointer, so treat it like the precious thing it is. ✨
