Wouldn't pointers to entries be broken by rehashing?

What is with "id"? man syscall calls them numbers. Calling the ids
makes me think they have a value other than the system call number.

It would be easier to read something like ",If error is returned
change to NULL for a simpler error checking by callers. "
