=head1 NAME
-bench.pl - perform benches on Bison parsers.
+bench.pl - bench marks for Bison parsers.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
- ./bench.pl
+ ./bench.pl [OPTIONS]... DIRECTIVES
+
+=head1 DIRECTIVES
+
+Specify the set of benches to run. The following grammar defines the
+I<directives>:
+
+ directives ::=
+ directives | directives -- Alternation
+ | directives & directives -- Concatenation
+ | [ directives> ] -- Optional
+ | ( directives> ) -- Parentheses
+ | #d NAME[=VALUE] -- %code { #define NAME [VALUE] }
+ | %d NAME[=VALUE] -- %define NAME ["VALUE"]
+ | %s skeleton -- %skeleton "skeleton"
+ | directive
+
+Parentheses only group to override precedence. For instance:
+
+ [ %debug ] & [ %error-verbose ] & [ %define variant ]
+
+will generate eight different cases.

+Flags to pass to the C or C++ compiler. Defaults to -O2.

+
+Display this message and exit succesfully. The more verbose, the more

=item B<-i>, B<--iterations>=I<integer>
Say how many times a single test of the bench must be run. If
negative, specify the minimum number of CPU seconds to run. Defaults
-to -3.

+=item B<-q>, B<--quiet>
+
+Decrease the verbosity level (defaults to 1).
