Node:VMS Invocation, Previous:Extension Limitations Under DOS, Up:Invocation
The command line syntax for Bison on VMS is a variant of the usual Bison command syntax--adapted to fit VMS conventions.
To find the VMS equivalent for any Bison option, start with the long
option, and substitute a / for the leading --, and
substitute a _ for each - in the name of the long option.
For example, the following invocation under VMS:
bison /debug/name_prefix=bar foo.y
is equivalent to the following command under POSIX.
bison --debug --name-prefix=bar foo.y
The VMS file system does not permit filenames such as
foo.tab.c. In the above example, the output file
would instead be named foo_tab.c.
