NAME

     lemon — The Lemon Parser Generator

SYNOPSIS

     lemon [-bcgmqsx] input

DESCRIPTION

     lemon is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or C++.  It does the same job as bison and yacc.
     But lemon is not another bison or yacc clone.  It uses a different grammar syntax which is
     designed to reduce the number of coding errors.  lemon also uses a more sophisticated
     parsing engine that is faster than yacc and bison and which is both reentrant and thread-
     safe.  Furthermore, lemon implements features that can be used to eliminate resource leaks,
     making is suitable for use in long-running programs such as graphical user interfaces or
     embedded controllers.

     lemon will read the grammer from input and write out a parser for that grammar in the C
     language.
