Return a modular hash value for the specified null-terminated string.

unsigned int
hash0(
char const* string,
int modulus);Return a pseudo-random unsigned integer in the range from zero to one less than the specified modulus corresponding to the specified null-terminated string. The behavior is undefined unless 0 < modulus < 2^31. Note that modulus is expected to be a prime not close to an integral power of 2. Also note that specifying a modulus of 1 will cause 0 to be returned for every string.
