+.Dt CK_HT_GC 3
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ck_ht_gc
+.Nd perform maintenance on a hash table
+.Sh LIBRARY
+Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ck_ht.h
+.Ft bool
+.Fn ck_ht_gc "ck_ht_t *ht" "unsigned long cycles" "unsigned long seed"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn ck_ht_gc
+function will perform various maintenance routines on the hash table
+pointed to by
+.Fa ht ,
+including defragmentation of probe sequences with respect to tombstones
+and in the case that the delete workload hint has been passed, recalculation
+of probe sequence bounds. The
+.Fa cycles
+argument is used to indicate how many hash table entries should be subject
+to attempted maintenance.
+If
+.Fa cycles
+is 0, then maintenance is performed on the complete hash table. The
+.Fa seed
+argument determines the start location of the maintenance process. If
+.Fa cycles
+is non-zero, it is recommended that
+.Fa seed
+is some random value. If the delete hint has been passed, the function
+will require an additional 12% of memory (with respect to existing
+memory usage of the set), until operation completion.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn ck_ht_gc 3
+returns true and otherwise returns false on failure due to memory allocation
+failure.
+.Sh ERRORS
+This function will only return false if there are internal memory allocation
+failures.
