NAME

       yapps - create a Python module from a grammar file

SYNOPSIS

       yapps  [  --dump ] [ --use-devel-grammar ] [ -fcontext-insensitive-scanner ] [ -p  pid ] [
       -f ] input.g [ output.py ]  name

DESCRIPTION

         --dump                           Dump out grammar information
           --use-devel-grammar                 Use    the    devel    grammar     parser     from
            yapps_grammar.py    instead   of   the   stable   grammar   from   grammar.py
       -fcontext-insensitive-scanner    Scan all tokens (see docs)

       yapps generates a Python program which will parse a given grammar.

OPTIONS

       --dump Dump the grammar information to stdout.

       --use-devel-grammar
              Use the grammar file in ./yapps_grammar.py instead of yapps/grammar.py.
              This option is useful for testing new  grammar  parsers.  (Yes,  yapps'  parser  is
              itself written with yapps...)

       -fcontext-insensitive-scanner
              Set the option to use the non-context-sensitive scanner.

CAVEATS

       yapps implements a recursive-descent scanner.

HISTORY

       Written by Amit J. Patel <amitp@cs.stanford.edu>.
       This  version  was  enhanced by Matthias Urlichs <smurf@debian.org>.  It is not downwards-
       compatible with the original yapps2 (yet) and uses a different runtime library.
       See the change log for details.
