# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| bison: bison (parser generator similar to yacc) bison: bison: GNU Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a bison: grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C bison: program to parse that grammar. Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: bison: all properly-written Yacc grammars ought to work with Bison with no bison: change. Anyone familiar with Yacc should be able to use Bison with bison: little trouble. bison: bison: Homepage: https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/ bison:
