- .SH DESCRIPTION
-
- \fIgperf\fP reads a set of ``keys'' from \fIkeyfile\fP (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 \fIC\fP source code routines that perform the
- hashing and table lookup. All generated code is directed to the
- standard output.
-
- Please refer to the \fIgperf.texinfo\fP file for more information.
