-.SH NAME
-bison \- GNU Project parser generator (yacc replacement)
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B bison
-[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fIFILE\fR
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Bison
-is a parser generator in the style of
-.IR yacc (1).
-It should be upwardly compatible with input files designed
-for
-.IR yacc .
-.PP
-Input files should follow the
-.I yacc
-convention of ending in
-.BR .y .
-Unlike
-.IR yacc ,
-the generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the prefix
-of the input file.
-Moreover, if you need to put
-.I C++
-code in the input file, you can end his name by a C++-like extension
-(.ypp or .y++), then bison will follow your extension to name the
-output file (.cpp or .c++).
-For instance, a grammar description file named
-.B parse.yxx
-would produce the generated parser in a file named
-.BR parse.tab.cxx ,
-instead of
-.IR yacc 's
-.B y.tab.c
-or old
-.I Bison
-version's
-.BR parse.tab.c .
-.PP
-This description of the options that can be given to
-.I bison
-is adapted from the node
-.B Invocation
-in the
-.B bison.texinfo
-manual, which should be taken as authoritative.
-.PP
-.I Bison
-supports both traditional single-letter options and mnemonic long
-option names. Long option names are indicated with
-.B \-\-
-instead of
-.BR \- .
-Abbreviations for option names are allowed as long as they
-are unique. When a long option takes an argument, like
-.BR \-\-file-prefix ,
-connect the option name and the argument with
-.BR = .
-.PP
-Generate LALR(1) and GLR parsers.
-.PP
-Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-The same is true for optional arguments.
