ht

The hash table.

k

The key to the item that you wish to remove.

klen

The length of the key.

keyfree

A pointer to the hash table keys function.

datafree

A pointer to the hash table data function.

Note

If you wish to use the ECHashFreeFunc functions passed in when the hash table was created, use echash_delete_item instead of this function.

The keyfree and datafree functions are optional. If they do not exist, no function is invoked when data or keys are freed.

Return Values

On success this function returns 1 and on failure 0.

Threading

It is legal to call this function in any thread.

The hash table data structure is not thread safe; any simultaneous access needs to be coordinated by the API consumer.
