.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B fh_makekeyheap
function makes a Fibonacci heap which does ordering based on an
integer key that is given in addition to the data.
This menthod is useful so that you can eliminate the need to call
a comparision function to order the data in the heap.
.PP
The pointer to the structure
.B fibheap
returned by
.B fh_makekeyheap
is an opaque structure.  The the pointer can only be passed to other
functions in the
.B libfib
library.
.PP
The
.B fh_insertkey
function inserts the
.B data
element into the heap with a value of
.BR key .
The pointer returned can be used in calls to functions like
.BR fh_delete (3)
to delete the key from the heap before it gets extracted via
.BR fh_extractmin (3).
.SH RETURN VALUES
The
.B fh_makekeyheap
function returns a pointer to a heap structure used to insert and extract
data elements.
.PP
The
.B fh_insertkey
functions returns a pointer to a heap element structure which can be used
to manimulate that data element in the heap.
.PP
The
.B fh_minkey
function returns the integer key of the data at the top of the heap.  If you would like to view the data, see
.BR fh_min (3).
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR fh_extractmin (3)
.SH AUTHORS
This library and man page was writen by John-Mark Gurney <gurney_j@efn.org>.
.SH BUGS
A key heap does not provide a way for handling key collitions and deffering
decission to a user provided function to resolve colissions.
