✨ LOLA(1) ✨

okay bestie, buckle up, we're reading the lola manual page together and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving main character energy 💅 (and yes, that's General Commands Manual energy, lowercase lola in the corner, iykyk)

🎀 NAME 🎀

lola — LL parser generator

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she generates parsers. iconic. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lola [--format c|python] [--output filename] [-Dname] grammar.ll

okay so this is literally how you call her. every bracket is optional, grammar.ll is not. no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so lola is a general purpose parser generator for context-free LL languages. fr fr. that's her whole thing.

she can generate either:

• a C program, or
• a Python data structure

...and that generated thing will parse the language that's represented by your context-free LL grammars. so you write the grammar, she writes the parser, you go touch grass. slay. 🌈

💖 AUTHOR 💖

Keith Packard — yes, that Keith Packard. respect. 🫶
