NAME

       malsym - compile a Malaga symbol file

SYNOPSIS

       malsym symbol-file

       malsym extended-symbol-file -use symbol-file

DESCRIPTION

       Malaga  is  a  development  environment  for  natural-language grammars based on the Left-
       Associative Grammar formalism.  Malaga grammars can be used  for  automatic  morphological
       and/or syntactic analysis.

       The  program malsym compiles a Malaga symbol file. Give it the symbol file (suffix .sym or
       .esym) that is to be translated as argument. If an extended-symbol-file (suffix .esym)  is
       to be compiled, you must add the option -use.

       See info Malaga for details.

OPTIONS

       -h[elp]
              Print a help text about malsym's command line arguments and exit.

       -u[se] symbol-file
              Use  the  already  compiled  symbol-file  as the base symbol file when compiling an
              extended symbol file.

       -v[ersion]
              Print malsym's version number and exit.
