📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to key_r5_hash(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is the R5 hash function (borrowed from reiserfs), and it's lowkey iconic. Let's get into it.

💖 NAME 💖

key_r5_hash — R5 hash function (borrowed from reiserfs). That's the whole vibe: it's a hash function, it's R5, and it came from reiserfs like a hand-me-down that still slays.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint32_t key_r5_hash (const char *s , int len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • s — the direntry name. This is the name string you're handing over, bestie.
  • len — the name length. Literally how long that name is.
