+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+
+The :c:func:`hashkit_create` function initializes a hashkit object for use. If
+you pass a NULL argument for hash, then the memory for the object is
+allocated. If you specify a pre-allocated piece of memory, that is
+initialized for use.
+
+The :c:func:`hashkit_clone` function initializes a hashkit object much like
+:c:func:`hashkit_create`, but instead of using default settings it will use
+the settings of the ptr hashkit object.
+
+The :c:func:`hashkit_free` frees any resources being consumed by the hashkit
+objects that were initialized with :c:func:`hashkit_create` or :c:func:`hashkit_clone`.
+
+The :c:func:`hashkit_is_allocated` reports where the memory was allocated
+for a hashkit object.
+
+
+------------
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+
+
+:c:func:`hashkit_create` and :c:func:`hashkit_clone` will return NULL on
+failure or non-NULL on success.
+
+:c:func:`hashkit_is_allocated` returns true if the memory for the hashkit
+object was allocated inside of :c:func:`hashkit_create` or
+:c:func:`hashkit_clone`, otherwise it is false and was user-supplied memory.
