# polyrun(1)

Find polygen grammars and run polygen

## NAME

polyrun, polyfind - Find polygen grammars and run polygen

## SYNOPSIS

**polyrun** \[options\] grammar\
 **polyfind** grammar

## DESCRIPTION

**polyrun** runs **polygen** expanding the given grammar name into its full path, so that **polygen** can find it.

Grammars (which can be specified with partial paths, such as *debian/flame*) are searched in the current directory first, then in a subdirectory of */usr/share/polygen* according to the current locale settings, then recursively under */usr/share/polygen* and all its subdirectories. Grammars can be specified with or without the *.grm* extension.

**polyfind** just looks for the full pathname of the given grammar and prints it on standard output.

## OPTIONS

**polyrun** is a wrapper to **polygen**, and the options are passed to **polygen** as-is.

**polyfind** only takes the grammar name as argument.

## SEE ALSO

[polygen(1)](/polygen/1.md), [polygen-data(6)](/polygen-data/6.md)
