NAME
       vmgen - a tool for writing fast and efficient interpreters

SYNOPSIS
       vmgen INPUTFILE

DESCRIPTION
       Vmgen is a tool for writing efficient interpreters.  It takes a simple virtual machine description and generates efficient C code for deal-
       ing with the virtual machine code in various ways (in particular, executing it).  The run-time efficiency of the resulting interpreters	is
       usually within a factor of 10 of machine code produced by an optimizing compiler.

       The main documentation for vmgen is in info format.  Please use info vmgen for the complete documentation on vmgen.
