NAME
     lemon -- The Lemon Parser Generator

SYNOPSIS
     lemon [-bcgmqsx] input

DESCRIPTION
     lemon is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or C++.  It does the same job as bison and yacc.  But lemon is not another bison or yacc clone.
     It uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the number of coding errors.  lemon also uses a more sophisticated parsing
     engine that is faster than yacc and bison and which is both reentrant and thread-safe.  Furthermore, lemon implements features that can be
     used to eliminate resource leaks, making is suitable for use in long-running programs such as graphical user interfaces or embedded con-
     trollers.

     lemon will read the grammer from input and write out a parser for that grammar in the C language.

OPTIONS
     -b      Print only the basis in report.

     -c      Don't compress the action table.

     -g      Print grammar without actions.

     -m      Output a makeheaders compatible file.

     -q      (Quiet) Don't print the report file.
