| 47 | .Op Fl dlrtv | 
|---|
| 48 | .Op Fl b Ar file_prefix |

| 52 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | 
|---|
| 53 | The | 
|---|
| 54 | .Nm | 
|---|
| 55 | utility reads the grammar specification in the file | 
|---|
| 56 | .Ar filename | 
|---|
| 57 | and generates an LR(1) parser for it. | 
|---|
| 58 | The parsers consist of a set of LALR(1) parsing tables and a driver routine | 
|---|
| 59 | written in the C programming language. | 
|---|
| 60 | The | 
|---|
| 61 | .Nm | 
|---|
| 62 | utility normally writes the parse tables and the driver routine to the file | 
|---|
| 63 | .Pa y.tab.c . | 
|---|
| 64 | .Pp | 
|---|
| 65 | The following options are available: | 
|---|
| 66 | .Bl -tag -width indent | 
|---|
| 67 | .It Fl b Ar file_prefix | 
|---|
| 68 | Change the prefix prepended to the output file names to | 
|---|
| 69 | the string denoted by | 
|---|
| 70 | .Ar file_prefix . | 
|---|
| 71 | The default prefix is the character | 
|---|
| 72 | .Pa y . | 
|---|
| 73 | .It Fl d | 
|---|
| 74 | Cause the header file | 
|---|
| 75 | .Pa y.tab.h | 
|---|
| 76 | to be written. | 
|---|
| 77 | .It Fl l | 
|---|
| 78 | If the | 
|---|
| 79 | .Fl l | 
|---|
| 80 | option is not specified, | 
|---|
| 81 | .Nm | 
|---|
| 82 | will insert #line directives in the generated code. | 
|---|
| 83 | The #line directives let the C compiler relate errors in the | 
|---|
| 84 | generated code to the user's original code. | 
|---|
| 85 | If the | 
|---|
| 86 | .Fl l | 
|---|
| 87 | option is specified, | 
|---|
| 88 | .Nm | 
|---|
| 89 | will not insert the #line directives. | 
|---|
| 90 | Any #line directives specified by the user will be retained. | 
|---|
| 91 | .It Fl o Ar output_filename | 
|---|
| 92 | Cause | 
|---|
| 93 | .Nm | 
|---|
| 94 | to write the generated code to | 
|---|
| 95 | .Ar output_filename | 
|---|
| 96 | instead of the default file, | 
|---|
| 97 | .Pa y.tab.c . | 
|---|
| 98 | .It Fl p Ar symbol_prefix | 
|---|
| 99 | Change the prefix prepended to yacc-generated symbols to | 
|---|
| 100 | the string denoted by | 
|---|
| 101 | .Ar symbol_prefix . | 
|---|
| 102 | The default prefix is the string | 
|---|
| 103 | .Pa yy . | 
|---|
| 104 | .It Fl r | 
|---|
| 105 | Cause | 
|---|
| 106 | .Nm | 
|---|
| 107 | to produce separate files for code and tables. | 
|---|
| 108 | The code file | 
|---|
| 109 | is named | 
|---|
| 110 | .Pa y.code.c , | 
|---|
| 111 | and the tables file is named | 
|---|
| 112 | .Pa y.tab.c . | 
|---|
| 113 | .It Fl t | 
|---|
| 114 | Change the preprocessor directives generated by | 
|---|
| 115 | .Nm | 
|---|
| 116 | so that debugging statements will be incorporated in the compiled code. | 
|---|
| 117 | .It Fl v | 
|---|
| 118 | Cause a human-readable description of the generated parser to | 
|---|
| 119 | be written to the file | 
|---|
| 120 | .Pa y.output . | 
|---|
| 121 | .El | 
|---|
| 122 | .Sh ENVIRONMENT | 
|---|
| 123 | .Bl -tag -width ".Ev TMPDIR" | 
|---|
| 124 | .It Ev TMPDIR | 
|---|
| 125 | Name of directory where temporary files are to be created. |

|---|
| 128 | The names of the tables generated by this version of |
