unsigned long elf_hash(const char *name);
Unsafe
Hash tables may be built on one machine and used on another because elf_hash() uses unsigned arithmetic to avoid possible differences in various machines' signed arithmetic. Although name is shown as char* above, elf_hash() treats it as unsigned char* to avoid sign extension differences. Using char* eliminates type conflicts with expressions such as elf_hash(name).
ELF files' symbol hash tables are computed using this function (see elf_getdata.3e and elf32_xlatetof.3e The hash value returned is guaranteed not to be the bit pattern of all ones (~UL).
