        !             4: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             5: .B bison
        !             6: [

        !             9: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            10: .I Bison
        !            11: is a parser generator in the style of
        !            12: .IR yacc (1).
        !            13: It should be upwardly compatible with input files designed
        !            14: for
        !            15: .IR yacc .
        !            16: .PP
        !            17: Input files should follow the
        !            18: .I yacc
        !            19: convention of ending in ``.y''.
        !            20: Unlike
        !            21: .IR yacc ,
        !            22: the generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the prefix
        !            23: of the input file.
        !            24: For instance, a grammar description file named
        !            25: .B parse.y
        !            26: would produce the generated parser in a file named
        !            27: .BR parse.tab.c ,
        !            28: instead of
        !            29: .IR yacc 's
        !            30: .BR y.tab.c .
        !            31: .PP
        !            32: .I Bison
        !            33: takes three optional flags.
        !            34: .TP
        !            35: .B \-d
        !            36: Produce a
        !            37: .B .tab.h
        !            38: file, similar to
        !            39: .IR yacc 's
        !            40: .B y.tab.h
        !            41: file.

        !            43: .B \-v
        !            44: Be verbose. Analogous to the same flag for
        !            45: .IR yacc .
        !            46: .TP
        !            47: .B \-y
        !            48: Use fixed output file names. I.e., force the output to be in files
        !            49: .BR y.tab.c ,
        !            50: .BR y.tab.h ,
        !            51: and so on. This is for full
