type t = char

An alias for the type of characters.

val compare : t -> t -> int

The comparison function for characters, with the same specification as Stdlib.compare. Along with the type t, this function compare allows the module Char to be passed as argument to the functors Set.Make and Map.Make.

val equal : t -> t -> bool

The equal function for chars.

val seeded_hash : int -> t -> int

A seeded hash function for characters, with the same output value as Hashtbl.seeded_hash. This function allows this module to be passed as argument to the functor Hashtbl.MakeSeeded.
