| Summary | 0000616: Recognise yacc(1) / bison(1) grammar files | ||||
| Description | The `file(1)` command doesn't currently recognise yacc/bison grammar files. The minimal attached patch adds basic support. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Before this patch is applied (current `file(1)` behaviour): ```bash $ file *.y a.y: ASCII text b.y: C source, ASCII text c.y: ASCII text d.y: C source, ASCII text e.y: C source, ASCII text ``` After this patch is applied: ```bash a.y: yacc(1) or bison(1) grammar file, ASCII text b.y: yacc(1) or bison(1) grammar file with C prologue with token declarations with associativity/precedence declarations, ASCII text c.y: yacc(1) or bison(1) grammar file with token declarations, ASCII text d.y: yacc(1) or bison(1) grammar file with C prologue with token declarations, ASCII text e.y: yacc(1) or bison(1) grammar file with C prologue with token declarations with associativity/precedence declarations, ASCII text ``` | ||||

Recognised `yacc(1)` / `bison(1)` `*.y` grammar files.
For information on the grammar file format, see:
```sh
$ info bison grammar
```
> **Note:**
>
> If you are running on Debian, Ubuntu or a derivative,
> you may need to install the `bison(1)` documentation
> package for the above to work:
