💖 ml-yacc(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about ml-yacc — a whole parser generator for ML, she's iconic, she's from the General Commands Manual, and she's about to change your whole compilation vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ml-yacc — a parser generator for ML 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ml-yacc file

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this page is giving you the brief rundown of the ml-yacc command, fr fr. lowkey important context: this manpage was written specifically for the Debian distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. not one. tragic. 😭 so Debian said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and here we are. 💅

the way that ml-yacc works is: it generates a parser for an LALR language based on the specification inside file. and bestie, it doesn't just make one file — it makes two:

  • file.sig
  • file.sml

two babies. both yours. take care of them. 🫶✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

and if you wanna go deep deep, these programs are documented fully by The ML-Yacc User's Manual, written by David R. Tarditi and Andrew W. Appel — and you can find it right here, no cap:

/usr/share/doc/smlnj-doc/mlyacc.pdf.gz

go read it, it's giving academic excellence 📚✨

💜 AUTHOR 💜

this manual page was written by Aaron Matthew Read <amread@nyx.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). shoutout Aaron, absolute legend, thank you for your service 🫡💖

okay that's the whole page bestie, you're officially informed. go generate some parsers. slay. 💅✨
