tt(1)

💖 tt — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, you found the page for tt, the lil command-line icon from Treetop v1.4.14 ✨ she's the one who takes your grammars and turns them into Ruby. no cap.

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

tt — compile a treetop grammar file to ruby source code 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tt [options] grammar_file[.treetop|.tt] ...

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so tt is a command-line script, and her whole job — her entire main character arc — is compiling .treetop files into Ruby source code. periodt. 🔥

she takes a list of files with a .treetop extension and compiles each one into a .rb file of the same name. then you can just require those files like any other Ruby script. iconic behavior honestly. 💜

OR — plot twist — you can hand her just one .treetop file plus a -o flag to say exactly what the output file should be called. one file, one custom name, chef's kiss. 🍓

note bestie, this part matters: while treetop grammar files must have a supported filename extension (that's .treetop or .tt), you do not need to type the extension when you're calling the compiler with grammar file names. she's chill like that. 🙈

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -o, --output FILENAME — write the parser source to FILENAME 🎀
• -f, --force — overwrite existing output file(s) 🫶
• -v, --version — show the Treetop version ⭐
• -h, --help — (no description in the original, she just shows up and helps 💀)

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

1 grammar → 1 parser source

tt foo.tt

2 grammars → 2 separate parsers

tt foo bar.treetop

alternately named output file

tt -o alterate_name.rb foo

(yes, alterate_name.rb is spelled exactly like that in the original — we do not touch the artifacts, we preserve them 🏛️✨)
