| 2 | .sh NAME | |
| 3 | tmg \*- compiler-compiler | |
| 4 | .sh SYNOPSIS | |
| 5 | .bd tmg | |
| 6 | name | |
| 7 | .sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 8 | .it Tmg | |
| 9 | produces a translator for the language whose parsing | |
| 10 | and translation rules are described in file name.t. | |
| 11 | The new translator appears | |
| 12 | in a.out and may be used thus: | |
| 13 | .s3 | |
| 14 | .bd a.out | |
| 15 | input [ output ] | |
| 16 | .s3 | |
| 17 | Except in rare cases input must be a randomly | |
| 18 | addressable file. | |
| 19 | If no output file is specified, the standard output file | |
| 20 | is assumed. | |
| 21 | .sh FILES | |

| 30 | .sh DIAGNOSTICS | |
| 31 | Syntactic errors result in "???" followed by the | |
| 32 | offending line. | |
| 33 | .br | |
| 34 | Situations such as space overflow | |
| 35 | with which the Tmg processor or a Tmg-produced | |
| 36 | processor can not cope result in a descriptive comment and | |
| 37 | a dump. | |
