# The devel/gperf port

## gperf-3.0.4p0 – perfect hash functions, to help write parsers

## Description

    GPERF  generates perfect hash functions for sets of key words.
    A perfect hash function is simply:

              A hash function and a data structure that allows
              recognition of a key word in a set of words using
              exactly 1 probe into the data structure.

    Output from the GPERF program is used to recognize reserved words in
    the GNU C, GNU C++, and GNU Pascal compilers, as well as with the GNU
    indent program.

    Authors: Douglas C. Schmidt and Bruno Haible

    Gperf was bundled with libg++. Now that libg++ has been removed from
    the main tree, some people may find gperf useful.
