⚡ TLDR: yacc (tldr-pages)

Generate an LALR parser (in C) with a formal grammar specification file.

Create a file `y.tab.c` containing the C parser code and compile the grammar file with all necessary constant declarations for values. (Constant declarations file `y.tab.h` is created only when the `-d` flag is used)
yacc -d {{path/to/grammar_file.y}}
Compile a grammar file containing the description of the parser and a report of conflicts generated by ambiguities in the grammar
yacc -d {{path/to/grammar_file.y}} -v
Compile a grammar file, and prefix output filenames with `prefix` instead of `y`
yacc -d {{path/to/grammar_file.y}} -v -b {{prefix}}
