NAME
       ace_gperf - generate a perfect hash function from a key set

SYNOPSIS
       ace_gperf [ -adghijklnoprsStv ] [ keyfile ]

DESCRIPTION
       ace_gperf 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 ace_gperf.texinfo file for more information.  This file is distributed with ace_gperf release.
