* @page hash_01_example_page Eina_Hash in action
* @dontinclude eina_hash_01.c
*
* We are going to store some tuples into our table, that will map each @a name
* to a @a number. The cost to access a given number from the name should be
* very small, even with many entries in our table. This is the initial data:
* @skip _Phone_Entry
* @until // _start_entries
*
* Before starting to play with the hash, let's write a callback that will be
* used to free the elements from it. Since we are just storing strduped
* strings, we just need to free them:
*
* @skip static
* @until }
*
* We also need a callback to iterate over the elements of the list later, so
* we are defining it now:
*
* @skip Eina_Bool
* @until }
*
* Now let's create our @ref Eina_Hash using @ref
* eina_hash_string_superfast_new :
*
* @skip eina_init
* @until phone_book
*
* Now we add the keys and data to the hash using @ref eina_hash_add . This
* means that the key is copied inside the table, together with the pointer to
* the data (phone numbers).
*
* @skip for
* @until }
*
* Some basic manipulations with the hash, like finding a value given a key,
* deleting an entry, modifying an entry are exemplified in the following lines.
* Notice that the @ref eina_hash_modify function returns the old value stored
* in that entry, and it needs to be freed, while the @ref eina_hash_del
* function already calls our free callback:
*
* @skip Look for
* @until free(
*
* The @ref eina_hash_set function can be used to set a key-value entry to the
* table if it doesn't exist, or to modify an existent entry. It returns the old
* entry if it was already set, and NULL otherwise. But since it will
* return NULL on error too, we need to check if an error has occurred:
*
* @skip Modify
* @until printf("\n");
*
* There are different ways of iterate over the entries of a hash. Here we show
* two of them: using @ref eina_hash_foreach and @ref Eina_Iterator .
*
* @skip List of phones
* @until eina_iterator_free(it);
*
* It's also possible to change the key for a specific entry, without having to
* remove the entry from the table and adding it again:
*
* @skipline eina_hash_move
*
* We can remove all the elements from the table without free the table itself:
*
* @skip Empty the phone book
* @until eina_hash_population
*
* Or free the the entire table with its content:
*
* @skipline eina_hash_free
*
*
* The full code for this example can be seen here: @ref eina_hash_01_c

* @brief give a small description here : what it is for, what it does
* , etc...
* Different implementations exists depending on what to store: strings,
* integers, pointers, stringshared or your own...
* @brief Hash table management. Useful for mapping keys to values.
*
* The hash table is useful for when one wants to implement a table that maps
* keys (usually strings) to data, and have relatively fast access time. The
* performance is proportional to the load factor of the table (number of
* elements / number of buckets). See @ref hashtable_algo for implementation
* details.
*
* Different implementations exists depending on what kind of key will be used
* to access the data: strings, integers, pointers, stringshared or your own.
*
* Eina hash tables can copy the keys when using eina_hash_add() or not when
* using eina_hash_direct_add().
*
* Hash API. Give some hints about the use (functions that must be
* used like init / shutdown), general use, etc... Give also a link to
* tutorial below.
*
* @section hashtable_algo Algorithm
*
* Give here the algorithm used in the implementation
* The Eina_Hash is implemented using an array of N "buckets", where each
* bucket is a pointer to a structure that is the head of a <a
* href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-black_tree">red-black tree</a>. The
* array can then be indexed by the [hash_of_element mod N]. The
* hash_of_element is calculated using the hashing function, passed as
* parameter to the @ref eina_hash_new function. N is the number of buckets
* (array positions), and is calculated based on the buckets_power_size
* (argument of @ref eina_hash_new too). The following picture ilustrates the
* basic idea:
*
* @image html 01_hash-table.jpg
*
* Adding an element to the hash table is made of:
* @li calculating the hash for that key (using the specified hash function);
* @li calculate the array position [hash mod N];
* @li add the element to the rbtree on that position.
*
* The two first steps have constant time, proportional to the hash function
* being used. Adding the key to the rbtree will be proportional on the number
* of keys on that bucket.
*
* The average cost of lookup depends on the number of keys per
* bucket (load factor) of the table, if the distribution of keys is
* sufficiently uniform.
*
* @section hashtable_perf Performance
*
* Give some hints about performance if it is possible, and an image !
* As said before, the performance depends on the load factor. So trying to keep
* it as small as possible will improve the hash table performance. But
* increasing the buckets_power_size will also increase the memory consumption.
* The default hash table creation functions already have a good number of
* buckets, enough for most cases. Particularly for strings, if just a few keys
* (less than 30) will be added to the hash table, @ref
* eina_hash_string_small_new should be used. If just stringshared keys are
* being added, use @ref eina_hash_stringshared_new. If a lot of keys will be
* added to the hash table (e.g. more than 1000), then it's better to increase
* the buckets_power_size. See @ref eina_hash_new for more details.
*
* When adding a new key to a hash table, use @ref eina_hash_add or @ref
* eina_hash_direct_add (the latter if this key is already stored elsewhere). If
* the key may be already inside the hash table, instead of checking with
* @ref eina_hash_find and then doing @ref eina_hash_add, one can use just @ref
* eina_hash_set (this will change the data pointed by this key if it was
* already present in the table).
*
* @section hashtable_tutorial Tutorial
*
* Here is a fantastic tutorial about our hash table
* These examples show many Eina_Hash functions in action:
* @li @ref hash_01_example_page
* @li @ref hash_02_example_page
