#### HASHTAB Prolog

     Name       : HASHTAB
     Description: Hash Table Complex
     DSECT      : HASHTAB
     Function   : HASHTAB is used exclusively by file management
                  to reduce the paging overhead when searching
                  for a file on a read/write disk. It contains a
                  header plus a pointer array with the address of
                  each hyperblock associated with the disk, and a
                  scatter index table with a 4-byte entry for
                  each file on the disk. HASHTAB is called by the
                  HASHTAB macro.
