.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or C++.
|
|
It does the same job as bison and yacc.
|
|
But
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is not another bison or yacc clone.
|
|
It uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the number of coding errors.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also uses a more sophisticated parsing engine that is faster than yacc and bison
|
|
and which is both reentrant and thread-safe.
|
|
Furthermore,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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 controllers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will read the grammer from
|
|
.Ar input
|
|
and write out a parser for that grammar in the C language.
