40.Nd extract tables from y.tab.c
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Nm
43.Ar file
44.Op Ar tables
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46Programs have historically used a script (often named
47.Dq :yyfix )
48to extract tables from the
49.Xr yacc 1
50generated file
51.Pa y.tab.c .
52As the names of the tables generated by the current version of
53.Xr yacc 1
54are different from those of historical versions of
55.Xr yacc 1 ,
56the shell script
57.Nm
58is provided to simplify the transition.
59.Pp
60The first (and required) argument to
61.Nm
62is the name of the file where the extracted tables should be stored.
63.Pp
64If further command line arguments are specified, they are taken as
65the list of tables to be extracted.
66Otherwise,
67.Nm
68attempts to determine if the
69.Pa y.tab.c
70file is from an old or new
71.Xr yacc 1 ,
72and extracts the appropriate tables.
73.Pp
74The tables
75.Dq yyexca ,
76.Dq yyact ,
77.Dq yypact ,
78.Dq yypgo ,
79.Dq yyr1 ,
80.Dq yyr2 ,
81.Dq yychk ,
82and
83.Dq yydef
84are extracted
85from historical versions of
86.Xr yacc 1 .
87.Pp
88The tables
89.Dq yylhs ,
90.Dq yylen ,
91.Dq yydefred ,
92.Dq yydgoto ,
93.Dq yysindex ,

96.Dq yytable ,
97.Dq yyname ,
98.Dq yyrule ,
