-<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
-
- <i>Yacc</i> converts a context-free grammar and translation code into
- a set of tables for an LR(1) parser and translator. The grammar
- may be ambiguous; specified precedence rules are used to break
- ambiguities.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- The output file, <tt><font size=+1>y.tab.c</font></tt>, must be compiled by the C compiler to
- produce a program <tt><font size=+1>yyparse</font></tt>. This program must be loaded with a
- lexical analyzer function, <tt><font size=+1>yylex(void)</font></tt> (often generated by <a href="../man1/lex.html"><i>lex</i>(1)</a>),
- with a <tt><font size=+1>main(int &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;argc, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;char &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*argv[])</font></tt> program, and with an error
- handling routine,
- <tt><font size=+1>yyerror(char*)</font></tt>.

- <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;o</font></tt> <i>output</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Direct output to the specified file instead of <tt><font size=+1>y.tab.c</font></tt>.<br>
- <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;D</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Create file <tt><font size=+1>y.debug</font></tt>, containing diagnostic messages. To incorporate
- them in the parser, compile it with preprocessor symbol <tt><font size=+1>yydebug</font></tt>
- defined. The amount of diagnostic output from the parser is regulated
- by value <i>n</i>. The value 0 reports errors; 1 reports reductions;
- higher values (up to 4) include

- Include it in source files other than <tt><font size=+1>y.tab.c</font></tt> to give access to
- the token codes.<br>
- <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;s</font></tt> <i>stem</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Change the prefix <tt><font size=+1>y</font></tt> of the file names <tt><font size=+1>y.tab.c</font></tt>, <tt><font size=+1>y.tab.h</font></tt>,
- <tt><font size=+1>y.debug</font></tt>, and <tt><font size=+1>y.output</font></tt> to <i>stem</i>.<br>
- <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;S</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Write a parser that uses Stdio instead of the <tt><font size=+1>print</font></tt> routines
- in libc.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- The specification of <i>yacc</i> itself is essentially the same as the
- UNIX version described in the references mentioned below. Besides
- the <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;D</font></tt> option, the main relevant differences are:<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
-
- The interface to the C environment is by default through <tt><font size=+1>&lt;libc.h&gt;</font></tt>
- rather than <tt><font size=+1>&lt;stdio.h&gt;</font></tt>; the <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;S</font></tt> option reverses this.<br>
- The parser accepts UTF input text (see <a href="../man7/utf.html"><i>utf</i>(7)</a>), which has a couple
- of effects. First, the return value of <tt><font size=+1>yylex()</font></tt> no longer fits
- in a <tt><font size=+1>short</font></tt>; second, the starting value for non-terminals is now
- 0xE000 rather than 257.<br>
- The generated parser can be recursive: actions can call <i>yyparse</i>,
- for example to implement a sort of <tt><font size=+1>#include</font></tt> statement in an interpreter.<br>
- Finally, some undocumented inner workings of the parser have been
- changed, which may affect programs that know too much about its
- structure.<br>

-
- The parser may not have full information when it writes to <tt><font size=+1>y.debug</font></tt>
- so that the names of the tokens returned by <tt><font size=+1>yylex</font></tt> may be missing.<br>
