# parser3(1)

Command Line and CGI interface for Parser 3 Language.

## NAME

parser3 - Command Line and CGI interface for Parser 3 Language.

## SYNOPSIS

**parser3** \[**-h**\] \[**-c** *conffile*\] *file*\

## DESCRIPTION

Parse and execute *file* in Parser 3 language.

Parser checks for configuration settings in the *auto.p* file beside of the binary (in the directory with CGI-script itself) and then in the default system-wide *auto.p* file, if neither option -c or environment variable CGI\_PARSER\_CONFIG is specified.

Parser makes records about errors to error log file parser3.log, which is implicitly located in the same directory where parser3 CGI script is.  If Parser is not allowed to write to that file, errors are reported to standard error stream.

## OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

- **-h**

  Display usage information.

- **-c *conffile***

  Use this *conffile* (/path/to/auto.p).

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Parser3 checks environment variable CGI\_PARSER\_CONFIG if option -c is not specified.

If you would rather change implicit location of parser3.log, you can explicitly specify it via stderr redirection or environment variable CGI\_PARSER\_LOG.

## FILES

- **/etc/parser3/auto.p**

  default **parser3** configuration file
