ml-burg(1)						      General Commands Manual							ml-burg(1)

NAME

       ml-burg - a tree parser generator for Standard ML

SYNOPSIS

       ml-burg file.burg

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the ml-burg command.	This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro-
       gram does not have a manual page.

       The ml-burg program generates a Standard ML program to perform bottom-up rewriting of an input tree. Cost information associated with  each
       rewrite rule is used to derive the minimum rewrite cost for the entire tree. A successful reduction corresponds to rewriting the input tree
       to a special non-terminal symbol called the start non-terminal.	Upon successful reduction, facilities are provided to walk the tree  emit-
       ting semantic actions corresponding to the rules that matched.

       When ml-burg is presented with file.burg, the file file.sml is generated.

       /usr/share/doc/ml-burg/doc.pdf.
