+-a Generate ANSI standard C output code, i.e., function prototypes.
+-c Generate comparison code using strncmp rather than strcmp.
+-C Make the contents of generated lookup tables constant, i.e., readonly.
+-d Enables the debugging option (produces verbose output to the standard error).
+-D Handle keywords that hash to duplicate values. This is useful
+ for certain highly redundant keyword sets. It enables the -S option.
+-e Allow user to provide a string containing delimiters used to separate
+ keywords from their attributes. Default is ",\n"
+-E Define constant values using an enum local to the lookup function
+ rather than with defines
+-f 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.''
+-g Assume a GNU compiler, e.g., g++ or gcc. This makes all generated
+ routines use the ``inline'' keyword to remove cost of function calls.
+-G 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).
+-h Prints this mesage.
+-H Allow user to specify name of generated hash function. Default
+ is `hash'.
+-i 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 Affects the ``jump value,'' i.e., how far to advance the associated
+ character value upon collisions. Must be an odd number, default is 5.
+-k Allows selection of 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.
+-K Allow use to select name of the keyword component in the keyword structure.
+-l Compare key lengths before trying a string comparison. This helps
+ cut down on the number of string comparisons made during the lookup.
+-L Generates code in the language specified by the option's argument. Languages
+ handled are currently C++ and C. The default is C.
+-n Do not include the length of the keyword when computing the hash function
+-N Allow user to specify name of generated lookup function. Default
+ name is `in_word_set.'
+-o Reorders input keys by frequency of occurrence of the key sets.
+ This should decrease the search time dramatically.
+-p Changes the return value of the generated function ``in_word_set''
+ from its default boolean value (i.e., 0 or 1), to type ``pointer
+ to wordlist array'' This is most useful when the -t option, allowing
+ user-defined structs, is used.
+-r Utilizes randomness to initialize the associated values table.
+-s Affects the size of the generated hash table. The numeric argument
+ for this option 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.
+-S 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 argument to
+ this option 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. This
+ is useful since many C compilers cannot correctly generate code for
+ large switch statements.
+-t Allows the user to include a structured type declaration for
+ generated code. Any text before %% is consider part of the type
+ declaration. Key words and additional fields may follow this, one
+ group of fields per line.
+-T Prevents the transfer of the type declaration to the output file.
+ Use this option if the type is already defined elsewhere.
+-v Prints out the current version number
+-Z Allow user to specify name of generated C++ class. Default
+ name is `Perfect_Hash.'
