NAME

     yyextract -- extract grammar rules from a yacc grammar

SYNOPSIS

     yyextract [-behyV] [-o file] [-t title] [-w cols] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The yyextract utility extracts the grammar rules from a yacc grammar.

     The options are as follows:

     -b      Select the Backus-Naur Form (BNF) for the output.

     -e      Select the Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF) for the output.

     -h      Output in HTML format.

     -o file
	     Set the output destination to file.

     -t title
	     Specify the page title for the generated HTML page.

     -w cols
	     Set the width limit of the output (this sets only the width of the %token header).

     -y      Select the yacc format for the output. This is the default format.

     -V      Print version information on standard output then exit.

NOTES

     The Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF) is like the Backus-Naur Form (BNF) but with the empty rules translated with the zero-or-one operator
     (within the brackets '[' and ']').

YACC(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   YACC(1)

NAME

     yacc -- an LALR(1) parser generator

SYNOPSIS

     yacc [-dlrtv] [-b file_prefix] [-o output_filename] [-p symbol_prefix] filename

DESCRIPTION

     Yacc reads the grammar specification in the file filename and generates an LR(1) parser for it.  The parsers consist of a set of LALR(1)
     parsing tables and a driver routine written in the C programming language.  Yacc normally writes the parse tables and the driver routine to
     the file y.tab.c.

     The following options are available:

     -b file_prefix
	     Change the prefix prepended to the output file names to the string denoted by file_prefix.  The default prefix is the character y.

     -d      Cause the header file y.tab.h to be written.

     -l      If the -l option is not specified, yacc will insert #line directives in the generated code.  The #line directives let the C compiler
	     relate errors in the generated code to the user's original code.  If the -l option is specified, yacc will not insert the #line
	     directives.  Any #line directives specified by the user will be retained.

     -o output_filename
	     Cause yacc to write the generated code to output_filename instead of the default file, y.tab.c.

     -p symbol_prefix
	     Change the prefix prepended to yacc-generated symbols to the string denoted by symbol_prefix.  The default prefix is the string yy.

     -r      Cause yacc to produce separate files for code and tables.	The code file is named y.code.c, and the tables file is named y.tab.c.

     -t      Change the preprocessor directives generated by yacc so that debugging statements will be incorporated in the compiled code.

     -v      Cause a human-readable description of the generated parser to be written to the file y.output.

     If the environment variable TMPDIR is set, the string denoted by TMPDIR will be used as the name of the directory where the temporary files
     are created.

FILES

     y.code.c
     y.tab.c
     y.tab.h
     y.output
     /tmp/yacc.aXXXXXXXXXX
     /tmp/yacc.tXXXXXXXXXX
     /tmp/yacc.uXXXXXXXXXX

DIAGNOSTICS

     If there are rules that are never reduced, the number of such rules is reported on standard error.  If there are any LALR(1) conflicts, the
     number of conflicts is reported on standard error.
