+.SH NAME
+yacc \- an LALR(1) parser generator
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B yacc [ -dlrtv ] [ -b
+.I file_prefix
+.B ] [ -p
+.I symbol_prefix
+.B ]
+.I filename
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Yacc
+reads the grammar specification in the file
+.I 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.
+.I Yacc
+normally writes the parse tables and the driver routine to the file
+.IR y.tab.c.
+.PP
+The following options are available:
+.RS
+.TP
+\fB-b \fIfile_prefix\fR
+The
+.B -b
+option changes the prefix prepended to the output file names to
+the string denoted by
+.IR file_prefix.
+The default prefix is the character
+.IR y.
+.TP
+.B -d
+The \fB-d\fR option causes the header file
+.IR y.tab.h
+to be written.
+.TP
+.B -l
+If the
+.B -l
+option is not specified,
+.I 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 \fB-l\fR option is specified,
+.I yacc
+will not insert the #line directives.
+Any #line directives specified by the user will be retained.
+.TP
+\fB-p \fIsymbol_prefix\fR
+The
+.B -p
+option changes the prefix prepended to yacc-generated symbols to
+the string denoted by
+.IR symbol_prefix.
+The default prefix is the string
+.IR yy.
+.TP
+.B -r
+The
+.B -r
+option causes
+.I yacc
+to produce separate files for code and tables. The code file
+is named
+.IR y.code.c,
+and the tables file is named
+.IR y.tab.c.
+.TP
+.B -t
+The
+.B -t
+option changes the preprocessor directives generated by
+.I yacc
+so that debugging statements will be incorporated in the compiled code.
+.TP
+.B -v
+The
+.B -v
+option causes a human-readable description of the generated parser to
+be written to the file
+.IR y.output.
+.RE
+.PP
+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.

+.SH 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.
