34.Sh NAME
35.Nm yyfix
36.Nd extract tables from y.tab.c
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Nm yyfix
39.Ar file
40.Op Ar tables
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42Programs have historically used a script (often named
43.Pa :yyfix )
44to extract tables from the
45.Xr yacc 1
46generated file
47.Pa y.tab.c .
48As the names of the tables generated by the current version of yacc
49are different from those of historical versions of yacc,
50the shell script
51.Nm yyfix
52is provided to simplify the transition.
53.Pp
54The first (and required) argument to
55.Nm yyfix
56is the name of the file where the extracted tables should be stored.
57.Pp
58If further command line arguments are specified, they are taken as
59the list of tables to be extracted.
60Otherwise,
61.Nm yyfix
62attempts to determine if the
63.Pa y.tab.c
64file is from an old or new
65.Xr yacc 1 ,
66and extracts the appropriate tables.
67.Pp
68The tables
69.Dq yyexca ,
70.Dq yyact ,
71.Dq yypact ,
72.Dq yypgo ,
73.Dq yyr1 ,
74.Dq yyr2 ,
75.Dq yychk ,
76and
77.Dq yydef
78are extracted
79from historical versions of
80.Xr yacc 1 .
81.Pp
82The tables
83.Dq yylhs ,
84.Dq yylen ,
85.Dq yydefred ,
86.Dq yydgoto ,
87.Dq yysindex ,
88.Dq yyrindex ,
89.Dq yygindex ,
90.Dq yytable ,
91.Dq yyname ,
92.Dq yyrule ,
93and
94.Dq yycheck ,
95are extracted from the current version of
