The code fileis named.IR y.code.c,and the tables file is named.IR y.tab.c..TP.B -tThe.B -toption changes the preprocessor directives generated by.I yaccso that debugging statements will be incorporated in the compiled code..TP.B -vThe.B -voption causes a human-readable description of the generated parser tobe written to the file.IR y.output..RE.PPIf the environment variable TMPDIR is set, the string denoted byTMPDIR will be used as the name of the directory where the temporaryfiles are created..SH FILES.IR y.code.c.br.IR y.tab.c.br.IR y.tab.h.br.IR y.output.br.IR /tmp/yacc.aXXXXXX.br.IR /tmp/yacc.tXXXXXX.br.IR /tmp/yacc.uXXXXXX.SH DIAGNOSTICSIf there are rules that are never reduced, the number of such rules isreported on standard error.If there are any LALR(1) conflicts, the number of conflicts is reportedon standard error.
