OUTPUT FORMAT

The tool prints:

- version

  Cache format version.

- slots

  The absolute number of slots in the hash area.

- slotsinuse

  The number of slots in use.

- slotuselimit

  The maximum number of slots used. `slots - slotuselimit' slots will be
  left free.

- datalimit

  The maximum size of the data in the data area.

- writepos

  New records will be inserted here.

- deletepos

  If space in data or hash area is needed then the record at this
  position will be deleted.

- lastpos

  Position of the byte after the highest record in the data area.

- datainuse

  Approximation of the bytes used by data records. This does not account
  deleted records as one would expect.

- inserted

  The number of insertions done.

- deleted

  The number of deletions done.

- slot-moves

  Copy operations needed to restore the collision chains after a record
  has been deleted. A `high' number is bad and means that the hash
  function is inappropriate.
