#Wrap on
{fH3}Invoking Bison under VMS{f}

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 {fEmphasis}\/{f} for the leading {fEmphasis}--{f}, and
substitute a {fEmphasis}\_{f} for each {fEmphasis}-{f} in the name of the long option.
For example, the following invocation under VMS:

#Wrap off
#fCode
bison \/debug\/name\_prefix=bar foo.y
#f
#Wrap on

is equivalent to the following command under POSIX.

#Wrap off
#fCode
bison --debug --name-prefix=bar foo.y
#f
#Wrap on

The VMS file system does not permit filenames such as
{fCite}foo.tab.c{f}.  In the above example, the output file
would instead be named {fCite}foo\_tab.c{f}.
