mlyacc — a parser generator for use with Standard ML and MLton 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mlyacc foo.grm

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, here's the tea ☕ — mlyacc takes a parser specification called foo.grm as its input, and it gives you back a parser written in SML. like, it literally writes the parser for you. main character energy fr fr 💅

and where does it put this little gift? not in your DMs, that's for sure. it drops the output into two files:

• foo.grm.sig
• foo.grm.sml

two files, one parser, no cap ✨

if you wanna know all the deets on the parser specification itself — like what you're even allowed to put in that .grm file — go read the ML-Yacc User's Manual, which is chillin' at:

/usr/share/doc/mlton/mlyacc.pdf

ngl you should probably read it. it's giving required reading 📖💖
