maphash function hash-table ⇒ nil
| function | a designator for a function of two arguments, the key and the value. |
| hash-table | a hash table. |
Iterates over all entries in the hash-table. For each entry, the function is called with two arguments–the key and the value of that entry.
The consequences are unspecified if any attempt is made to add or remove an entry from the hash-table while a maphash is in progress, with two exceptions: the function can use can use setf of gethash to change the value part of the entry currently being processed, or it can use remhash to remove that entry.
