byacc (Berkeley Yacc parser generator) Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator. Berkeley Yacc has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc. Berkeley Yacc can accept any input specification that conforms to the AT&T Yacc documentation. Specifications that take advantage of undocumented features of AT&T Yacc will probably be rejected. Please note that this will install the executable as byacc, in order not to conflict with the bison package that ships with Slack
