NAME¶

purge-hash - (hash)

PURPOSE¶

Purge a hash.

purge-hash <hash> 

DESCRIPTION¶

purge-hash deletes all elements from <hash> that was created with new-hash.

After purge-hash, you can use it without calling new-hash again. Note however, that "average-reads" statistics (see get-hash) is not reset - it keeps being computed and remains for the life of the hash.

EXAMPLES¶

Create a hash, put some data in it and then delete the data:

new-hash h 
write-hash h key "mykey" value "myvalue"
purge-hash h

See read-hash for more examples.
