Generic Prototype

dt_fp_allocfp(dt_Integer) => dt_Handle

C Prototype

#include "dt_finger.h"

dt_Handle dt_fp_allocfp(dt_Integer size)

FORTRAN Prototype

include 'dt_f_finger.inc'

integer*4 dt_f_fp_allocfp(size)

integer*4 size

Description

Allocates a new, empty fingerprint. The fingerprint's size will be set to the value of 'size'. Legal values of 'size' are 32 to 1073741824 (2^30). If not a power of two, 'size' will be rounded to the next highest power of two. The object initially has no bits set (all bits are zero). Note that a 1Gbit fingerprint consumes significant system memory (128MB).
