Method HDel

structure/hash.go:308–369

HDel deletes one field from a hash. It takes a string key 'k' and a field 'f' to be deleted from the hash. It returns a boolean indicating the success of the operation and any possible error. Parameters: k: The key of the hash table. f: The field to be deleted. Returns: bool: True if the fiel

(key string, field interface{})

//	bool: True if the field was deleted successfully, false otherwise.
//	error: An error if occurred during the operation, or nil on success.
