-GNU `gperf' generates perfect hash functions.
-
-Usage: ../src/gperf [OPTION]... [INPUT-FILE]
-
-If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory
-for the equivalent short option also.
-
-Input file interpretation:
- -e, --delimiters=DELIMITER-LIST
- Allow user to provide a string containing delimiters
- used to separate keywords from their attributes.
- Default is ",\n".
- -t, --struct-type Allows the user to include a structured type
- declaration for generated code. Any text before %%
- is considered part of the type declaration. Key
- words and additional fields may follow this, one
- group of fields per line.
-
-Language for the output code:
- -L, --language=LANGUAGE-NAME
- Generates code in the specified language. Languages
- handled are currently C++, ANSI-C, C, and KR-C. The
- default is C.
-
-Details in the output code:
- -K, --slot-name=NAME Select name of the keyword component in the keyword
- structure.
- -H, --hash-fn-name=NAME
- Specify name of generated hash function. Default is
- `hash'.
- -N, --lookup-fn-name=NAME
- Specify name of generated lookup function. Default
- name is `in_word_set'.
- -Z, --class-name=NAME Specify name of generated C++ class. Default name is
- `Perfect_Hash'.
- -7, --seven-bit Assume 7-bit characters.
- -c, --compare-strncmp Generate comparison code using strncmp rather than
- strcmp.
- -C, --readonly-tables Make the contents of generated lookup tables
- constant, i.e., readonly.
- -E, --enum Define constant values using an enum local to the
- lookup function rather than with defines.
- -I, --includes Include the necessary system include file <string.h>
- at the beginning of the code.
- -G, --global Generate the static table of keywords as a static
- global variable, rather than hiding it inside of the
- lookup function (which is the default behavior).
- -W, --word-array-name=NAME
- Specify name of word list array. Default name is
- `wordlist'.
- -S, --switch=COUNT Causes the generated C code to use a switch
- statement scheme, rather than an array lookup table.
- This can lead to a reduction in both time and space
- requirements for some keyfiles. The COUNT argument
- determines how many switch statements are generated.
- A value of 1 generates 1 switch containing all the
- elements, a value of 2 generates 2 tables with 1/2
- the elements in each table, etc. If COUNT is very
- large, say 1000000, the generated C code does a
- binary search.
- -T, --omit-struct-type
- Prevents the transfer of the type declaration to the
- output file. Use this option if the type is already
- defined elsewhere.
-
-Algorithm employed by gperf:
- -k, --key-positions=KEYS
- Select the key positions used in the hash function.
- The allowable choices range between 1-126, inclusive.
- The positions are separated by commas, ranges may be
- used, and key positions may occur in any order.
- Also, the meta-character '*' causes the generated
- hash function to consider ALL key positions, and $
- indicates the ``final character'' of a key, e.g.,
- $,1,2,4,6-10.
- -l, --compare-strlen Compare key lengths before trying a string
- comparison. This helps cut down on the number of
- string comparisons made during the lookup.
- -D, --duplicates Handle keywords that hash to duplicate values. This
- is useful for certain highly redundant keyword sets.
- -f, --fast=ITERATIONS Generate the gen-perf.hash function ``fast''. This
- decreases gperf's running time at the cost of
- minimizing generated table size. The numeric
- argument represents the number of times to iterate
- when resolving a collision. `0' means ``iterate by
- the number of keywords''.
- -i, --initial-asso=N Provide an initial value for the associate values
- array. Default is 0. Setting this value larger helps
- inflate the size of the final table.
- -j, --jump=JUMP-VALUE Affects the ``jump value'', i.e., how far to advance
- the associated character value upon collisions. Must
- be an odd number, default is 5.
- -n, --no-strlen Do not include the length of the keyword when
- computing the hash function.
- -o, --occurrence-sort Reorders input keys by frequency of occurrence of
- the key sets. This should decrease the search time
- dramatically.
- -r, --random Utilizes randomness to initialize the associated
- values table.
- -s, --size-multiple=N Affects the size of the generated hash table. The
- numeric argument N indicates ``how many times larger
- or smaller'' the associated value range should be,
- in relationship to the number of keys, e.g. a value
- of 3 means ``allow the maximum associated value to
- be about 3 times larger than the number of input
- keys.'' Conversely, a value of -3 means ``make the
- maximum associated value about 3 times smaller than
- the number of input keys. A larger table should
- decrease the time required for an unsuccessful
- search, at the expense of extra table space. Default
- value is 1.
-
-Informative output:
- -h, --help Print this message.
- -v, --version Print the gperf version number.
- -d, --debug Enables the debugging option (produces verbose
- output to the standard error).
-
-Report bugs to <bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org>.
