+# Boost.ContainerHash
+
+The Boost.ContainerHash library, part of [Boost C++ Libraries](https://boost.org),
+provides `boost::hash`, an enhanced implementation of the
+[hash function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function) object specified
+by C++11 as `std::hash`, and several support facilities (`hash_combine`,
+`hash_range`, `hash_unordered_range`).
+
+`boost::hash` supports most standard types and some user-defined types out of
+the box, and is extensible; it's possible for a user-defined type `X` to make
+iself hashable via `boost::hash<X>` by defining an appropriate overload of the
+function `hash_value`.
+
+See [the documentation of the library](https://www.boost.org/libs/container_hash)
+for more information.
