NAME

       tt - Compile a treetop grammar file to ruby source code

SYNOPSIS

       tt [options] grammar_file[.treetop|.tt] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The tt program is a command-line script to compile .treetop files into Ruby source code.

       The  tt  program  takes a list of files with a .treetop extension and compiles them into .rb files of the
       same name. You can then require these files like any other Ruby script.

       Alternately, you can supply just one .treetop file and a -o flag to specify the name of the output file.

       Note: while treetop grammar files must have a supported  filename  extensions,  (.treetop  or  .tt),  the
       extension name is not required when calling the compiler with grammar file names.

OPTIONS

       -o, --output FILENAME

           Write parser source to FILENAME.

       -f, --force

           Overwrite existing output file(s)

       -v, --version

           Show Treetop version

       -h, --help

EXAMPLES

       1 grammar -> 1 parser source

           tt foo.tt

       2 grammars -> 2 separate parsers

           tt foo bar.treetop

       Alternately named output file

           tt -o alterate_name.rb foo
