+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <plhash.h>
+
+ typedef PRIntn (PR_CALLBACK *PLHashEnumerator)(PLHashEntry *he, PRIntn index, void *arg);
+
+ /* Return value */
+ #define HT_ENUMERATE_NEXT 0 /* continue enumerating entries */
+ #define HT_ENUMERATE_STOP 1 /* stop enumerating entries */
+ #define HT_ENUMERATE_REMOVE 2 /* remove and free the current entry */
+ #define HT_ENUMERATE_UNHASH 4 /* just unhash the current entry */
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+``PLHashEnumerator`` is a function type used in the enumerating a hash
+table. When all the table entries are enumerated, each entry is passed
+to a user-specified function of type ``PLHashEnumerator`` with the hash
+table entry, an integer index, and an arbitrary piece of user data as
+argument.
+
+
+Remark
+------
+
+The meaning of ``HT_ENUMERATE_UNHASH`` is not clear. In the current
+implementation, it will leave the hash table in an inconsistent state.
+The entries are unlinked from the table, they are not freed, but the
+entry count (the ``nentries`` field of the ``PLHashTable`` structure) is
+not decremented.
