NAME

     lemon - The Lemon Parser Generator

SYNOPSIS

     lemon [-bcgmqsx] input

DESCRIPTION

     lemon is an LALR(1) parser generator for C or C++.  It does the same job
     as bison and yacc.  But lemon is not another bison or yacc clone.  It
     uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the number of
     coding errors.  lemon also uses a more sophisticated parsing engine that
     is faster than yacc and bison and which is both reentrant and thread-
     safe.  Furthermore, lemon implements features that can be used to
     eliminate resource leaks, making is suitable for use in long-running
     programs such as graphical user interfaces or embedded controllers.

     lemon will read the grammer from input and write out a parser for that
     grammar in the C language.
