+PL_HashTableRemove
+==================
+
+Removes the entry with the specified key from the hash table.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <plhash.h>
+
+ PRBool PL_HashTableRemove(
+ PLHashTable *ht,
+ const void *key);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``ht``
+ A pointer to the hash table from which to remove the entry.
+``key``
+ A pointer to the key for the entry to be removed.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+If there is no entry in the table with the specified key,
+:ref:`PL_HashTableRemove` returns ``PR_FALSE``. If the entry exists,
+:ref:`PL_HashTableRemove` removes the entry from the table, invokes
+``freeEntry`` with the ``HT_FREE_ENTRY`` flag to frees the entry, and
+returns ``PR_TRUE``.
+
+If the table is underloaded, :ref:`PL_HashTableRemove` also shrinks the
+number of buckets by half.
+
+
+Remark
+------
+
+This function should return :ref:`PRStatus`.
