The following options are available:
- -b prefix
- The -b option changes the prefix prepended to the output file names to the string denoted by prefix. The default prefix is derived from the input filename.
- -d
- The -d option causes the header file y.tab.h to be written.
- -l
- If the -l option is not specified, yacc will insert #line directives in the generated code. The #line directives let the C compiler relate errors in the generated code to the user’s original code. If the -l option is specified, yacc will not insert the #line directives. #line directives specified by the user will be retained.
- -r
- The -r option causes yacc to produce separate files for code and tables. The code file is named y.code.c, and the tables file is named y.tab.c.
- -t
- The -t option changes the preprocessor directives generated by yacc so that debugging statements will be incorporated in the compiled code.
- -v
- The -v option causes a human-readable description of the generated parser to be written to the file y.output.
- -S skeleton file
- The -S option causes a different skeleton file to be used. The default skeleton file is built in to yacc when it is built.
If the environment variable TMPDIR is set, the string denoted by TMPDIR will be used as the name of the directory where the temporary files are created.
