NAME

       gperf-ace - generate a perfect hash function from a key set

SYNOPSIS

       gperf-ace [ -adghijklnoprsStv ] [ keyfile ]

DESCRIPTION

       gperf-ace  reads  a  set of ‘‘keys’’ from keyfile (or, by default, from
       the standard input) and attempts to find a non-minimal perfect  hashing
       function  that  recognizes  a  member of the key set in constant, i.e.,
       O(1), time.  If such a function is found the program generates  a  pair
       of  C  source  code routines that perform the hashing and table lookup.
       All generated code is directed to the standard output.

       Please refer to the gperf-ace.texinfo file for more information.   This
       file is distributed with gperf-ace release.
