  Returns a list of the values in the `HASH-TABLE` population.

#### hash-table->alist

`(hash-table->alist HASH-TABLE)` procedure

  Returns the population of the `HASH-TABLE` as an `a-list`.

#### hash-table-ref

`(hash-table-ref HASH-TABLE KEY)` procedure

  Returns the `VALUE` for the `KEY` in the `HASH-TABLE`.

  Aborts with an exception when the `KEY` is missing.

#### hash-table-ref/default

`(hash-table-ref/default HASH-TABLE KEY DEFAULT)` procedure

  Returns the `VALUE` for the `KEY` in the `HASH-TABLE`, or the `DEFAULT` when the `KEY` is missing.

#### hash-table-exists?

`(hash-table-exists? HASH-TABLE KEY)` procedure

  Does the `KEY` exist in the `HASH-TABLE`?

#### hash-table-set!

`(hash-table-set! HASH-TABLE KEY VALUE)` procedure

  Set the `VALUE` for the `KEY` in the `HASH-TABLE`.

  A setter for `hash-table-ref` is defined, so

      (set! (hash-table-ref HASH-TABLE KEY) VALUE)

  is equivalent to

      (hash-table-set! HASH-TABLE KEY VALUE)

#### hash-table-update!

`(hash-table-update! HASH-TABLE KEY [UPDATE-FUNCTION [DEFAULT-VALUE-FUNCTION]])` procedure

  Sets or replaces the `VALUE` for `KEY` in the `HASH-TABLE`.

  The `UPDATE-FUNCTION` takes the existing `VALUE` for `KEY` and returns the new `VALUE`. The default is `identity`

  The `DEFAULT-VALUE-FUNCTION` is called when the entry for `KEY` is missing. The default uses the `(hash-table-initial-value)`, if provided. Otherwise aborts with an exception.

  Returns the new `VALUE`.

#### hash-table-update!/default

`(hash-table-update!/default HASH-TABLE KEY UPDATE-FUNCTION DEFAULT-VALUE)` procedure

  Sets or replaces the `VALUE` for `KEY` in the `HASH-TABLE`.

  The `UPDATE-FUNCTION` takes the existing `VALUE` for `KEY` and returns the new `VALUE`.

  The `DEFAULT-VALUE` is used when the entry for `KEY` is missing.

  Returns the new `VALUE`.

#### hash-table-copy

`(hash-table-copy HASH-TABLE)` procedure

  Returns a shallow copy of the `HASH-TABLE`.

#### hash-table-remove!

`(hash-table-remove! HASH-TABLE PROC)` procedure

#### hash-table-map

`(hash-table-map HASH-TABLE FUNC)` procedure

  Calls `FUNC` for all entries in `HASH-TABLE` with the key and value of each entry.

  Returns a list of the results of each call.

#### hash-table-fold

`(hash-table-fold HASH-TABLE FUNC INIT)` procedure

  Calls `FUNC` for all entries in `HASH-TABLE` with the key and value of each entry, and the current folded value. The initial folded value is `INIT`.

  Returns the final folded value.

#### hash-table-for-each

`(hash-table-for-each HASH-TABLE PROC)` procedure

  Calls `PROC` for all entries in `HASH-TABLE` with the key and value of each entry.

#### hash-table-walk

`(hash-table-walk HASH-TABLE PROC)` procedure

  Calls `PROC` for all entries in `HASH-TABLE` with the key and value of each entry.

### Hashing Functions

  For use with `eq?` as a `hash-table-equivalence-function`.

#### string-hash

`(string-hash STRING [BOUND START END])` procedure

  For use with `string=?` as a `hash-table-equivalence-function`. The optional `START` and `END` arguments may be given to limit the hash calculation to a specific sub-section of `STRING`.

#### string-ci-hash

`(string-hash-ci STRING [BOUND START END])` procedure
`(string-ci-hash STRING [BOUND START END])` procedure
