21=head1 DESCRIPTION
22
23The B<LHASH> structure records statistics about most aspects of
24accessing the hash table.
25
26OPENSSL_LH_stats() prints out statistics on the size of the hash table and how
27many entries are in it. For historical reasons, this function also outputs a
28number of additional statistics, but the tracking of these statistics is no
29longer supported and these statistics are always reported as zero.
30
31OPENSSL_LH_node_stats() prints the number of entries for each 'bucket' in the
32hash table.
33
34OPENSSL_LH_node_usage_stats() prints out a short summary of the state of the
35hash table.  It prints the 'load' and the 'actual load'.  The load is
36the average number of data items per 'bucket' in the hash table.  The
37'actual load' is the average number of items per 'bucket', but only
38for buckets which contain entries.  So the 'actual load' is the
39average number of searches that will need to find an item in the hash
40table, while the 'load' is the average number that will be done to
41record a miss.
42
43OPENSSL_LH_stats_bio(), OPENSSL_LH_node_stats_bio() and OPENSSL_LH_node_usage_stats_bio()
44are the same as the above, except that the output goes to a B<BIO>.
