NAME

       menhir - parser generator for OCaml

SYNOPSIS

       menhir [options] files

DESCRIPTION

       menhir  is  a LR(1) parser generator for the Objective Caml programming language. That is,
       Menhir compiles LR(1) grammar specifications down to Objective Caml  code.  It  is  mostly
       compatible with ocamlyacc(1).

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

              Specifies a base name for the output file(s).

       --comment
              Include comments in the generated code.

       --depend
              Invoke ocamldep and display dependencies.

       --dump Describe the automaton in basename.automaton.

       --error-recovery
              Attempt recovery by discarding tokens after errors.

       --explain
              Explain conflicts in basename.conflicts.

       --external-tokens module
              Import token type definition from module.

       --graph
              Write grammar's dependency graph to basename.dot.

       --infer
              Invoke ocamlc for ahead of time type inference.

       --interpret
              Interpret the sentences provided on stdin.

       --interpret-show-cst
              Show a concrete syntax tree upon acceptance.

       -la, --log-automaton level
              Log information about the automaton.

       -lc, --log-code level
              Log information about the generated code.

       -lg, --log-grammar level
              Log information about the grammar.

       --no-inline
              Ignore the %inline keyword.

       --no-stdlib
              Do not load the standard library.

       --ocamlc command
              Specifies how ocamlc should be invoked.

       --ocamldep command
              Specifies how ocamldep should be invoked.

       --only-preprocess
              Print a simplified grammar and exit.

       --only-tokens
              Generate token type definition only, no code.

       --raw-depend
              Invoke ocamldep and echo its raw output.

       --stdlib directory
              Specify where the standard library lies.

       --suggest-comp-flags
              Suggest compilation flags for ocaml{c,opt}.

       --suggest-link-flags-byte
              Suggest link flags for ocamlc.

       --suggest-link-flags-opt
              Suggest link flags for ocamlopt.

       -t, --table
              Use the table-based back-end.

       --timings
              Display internal timings.
