ace_gperf - generate a perfect hash function from a key set
ace_gperf [
-adghijklnoprsStv ] [
keyfile ]
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.
