+long_desc="
+ GNU gperf is a perfect hash function generator. For a given list of strings,
+ it produces a hash function and hash table, in form of C or C++ code, for
+ looking up a value depending on the input string. The hash function is
+ perfect, which means that the hash table has no collisions, and the hash
+ table lookup needs a single string comparison only.
+
+ GNU gperf is highly customizable. There are options for generating C or C++
+ code, for emitting switch statements or nested ifs instead of a hash table,
+ and for tuning the algorithm employed by gperf."
