Bison is a parser generator in the style of yacc (1). It should be
upwardly compatible with input files designed for yacc. Input files
should follow the yacc convention of ending in ".y". Unlike yacc, the
generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the prefix of
the input file. For instance, a grammar description file named
parse.y would produce the generated parser in a file named
parse.tab.c, instead of yacc 's y.tab.c.
