The implementation (hdestroy_r.c) only frees the internal table structure, not the user-provided keys or data. This matches POSIX, which says hdestroy "shall dispose of the search table" without mentioning key deallocation. Update the description to clarify that the caller is responsible for freeing any memory associated with table entries.
