# ck\_rhs\_remove(3)

remove key from a hash set

## NAME

**ck\_rhs\_remove** – remove key from a hash set

## LIBRARY

Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<ck\_rhs.h\>**

*void* *\**\

**ck\_rhs\_remove**(*ck\_rhs\_t \*hs*, *unsigned long hash*, *const void \*key*);

## DESCRIPTION

The **ck\_rhs\_remove**(*3*) function will attempt to remove the key specified by the *key* argument in the hash set pointed to by the *hs* argument. The key specified by *key* is expected to have the hash value specified by the *hash* argument (which was previously generated using the [CK\_RHS\_HASH(3)](/CK_RHS_HASH/3.md) macro).

If the call to **ck\_rhs\_remove**(*3*) was successful then the key contained in the hash set is returned. If the key was not a member of the hash set then NULL is returned.

## RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, **ck\_rhs\_remove**(*3*) returns a pointer to a key and otherwise returns NULL on failure.

## ERRORS

Behavior is undefined if *key* or *hs* are uninitialized.
