 This section describes the LibHashSet programming interface, as declared in the `<hash_set.h>` header file.
 
-LibHashSet supports sets containing values of type `uint32_t` or `uint64_t`. For each value type, separate functions are provided. The functions for `uint32_t`- and `uint64_t`-based hash sets can be distinguished by the suffix `…32` and `…64` suffix, respectively. In the following, the functions are described in their "generic" form.

The functions for `uint32_t`- and `uint64_t`-based hash sets can be distinguished by the suffix `…32` and `…64`, respectively. In the following, the functions are described in their "generic" (`value_t`) form.
 
 ***Note:*** On Microsoft Windows, when using LibHashSet as a "shared" library (DLL), the macro `HASHSET_DLL` must be defined *before* including `<hash_set.h>`! This is **not** required or allowed when using the "static" library.
