-.Dt ELF_HASH 3
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm elf_hash
-.Nd compute a hash value for a string
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libelf
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In libelf.h
-.Ft "unsigned long"
-.Fn elf_hash "const char *name"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-Function
-.Fn elf_hash
-computes a portable hash value for the null terminated string
-pointed to by argument
-.Ar name .
-.Pp
-The hash value returned is will be identical across
-machines of different architectures.
-This allows hash tables to be built on one machine and
-correctly used on another of a different architecture.
-The hash value returned is also guaranteed
-.Em not
-to be the bit pattern of all ones (~0UL).
-.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
-The library internally uses unsigned 32 bit arithmetic to compute
-the hash value.
