Short Descriptions
|
bison
|
Generates, from a series of rules, a program for
analyzing the structure of text files; Bison is a
replacement for Yacc (Yet Another Compiler Compiler)
|
|
yacc
|
A wrapper for bison, meant for
programs that still call yacc instead of
bison; it
calls bison
with the -y
option
|
|
liby
|
The Yacc library containing implementations of
Yacc-compatible yyerror and
main functions; this
library is normally not very useful, but POSIX requires
it
