# ml-antlr(1)

an LL(k) parser generator for Standard ML

## NAME

ml-antlr - an LL(k) parser generator for Standard ML

## SYNOPSIS

**ml-antlr** \[*OPTIONS*\] *file*

## DESCRIPTION

**ML-Antlr** is an LL(k) parser generator for Standard ML that is loosely modeled on Terence Parr’s **ANTLR** parser generator.

## OPTIONS

- **-32**

  run the 32-bit version of the program (currently the default).

- **-64**

  run the 64-bit version of the program.  This option only applies to the **x86-64** (aka **amd64**) architecture.

- **--dot**

  generate DOT output ( \<http://www.graphviz.org\>). The generated file will be named `file.dot`, where `file` is the input file.

- **--latex**

  generate a simple LaTeX version of the grammar, named `file.tex`.

- **--unit-actions**

  ignore the action code in the grammar, and instead return `unit` for every production.

## AUTHOR

**ML-Antlr** was written by Aaron Turon.
