 | <P>collperf is a test program for comparing collation performance and key lengths of ICU, Windows native collation | 
 | and Unix/POSIX collation. It operates on a file of lines (names, for example), and performs one of three tests:</P> | 
 |  | 
 | <OL> | 
 | 	<LI>Sort Key generation. Report on key lengths and key generation times. | 
 | 	<LI>Binary search. Report the average time required to look up each of the names (file lines) from the file in | 
 | 	a sorted list of all of the names. | 
 | 	<LI>Quick Sort. Report the time required to sort the file in memory, using the C library qsort function. The file | 
 | 	order is randomized prior to the sort. | 
 | </OL> |

 | -file file_name        utf-16 format file of names | 
 | -locale name           ICU locale to use. Default is en_US | 
 | -langid 0x1234         Windows Language ID number. Default 0x409 (en_US) |

 | -win                   Run test using Windows native services. (ICU is default) | 
 | -unix                  Run test using Unix strxfrm, strcoll services. | 
 | -uselen                Use API with string lengths. Default is null-terminated strings | 
 | -usekeys               Run tests using sortkeys rather than strcoll | 
 | -loop nnnn             Loopcount for test. Adjust for reasonable total running time. | 
 | -terse                 Terse numbers-only output. Intended for use by scripts. |
