.SH NAME
marisa\-benchmark \- A tool to benchmark libmarisa
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B marisa\-benchmark
.RI [ options ] " file"
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmarisa\-benchmark\fP is a tool to benchmark libmarisa. This tool takes the
same input as marisa\-build and measures the performance of libmarisa for the
given set of keys. This tool is useful to fix dictionary settings.
.PP
For the search performance, marisa\-benchmark measures the time to lookup or
search keys in input order. When the keys are given in lexicographic order, few
cache misses will occur in the benchmark. In contrast, when the keys are given
in random order, many cache misses will occur in the benchmark.
.PP
See \fBmarisa\-benchmark \-h\fP for the list of options.
.SH SEE ALSO
The programs are generated from /usr/share/doc/libmarisa\-dev/readme.en.html
in \fBlibmarisa\-dev\fP package.
