YACC (Yet Another Compiler-Compiler) is a computer program for the Unix operating system developed by Stephen C. Johnson.
It is a Look Ahead Left-to-Right Rightmost Derivation (LALR) parser generator, generating a LALR parser (the part of a compiler that tries to make syntactic sense of the source code) based on a formal grammar, written in a notation similar to Backus–Naur Form (BNF).
Yacc is supplied as a standard utility on BSD and AT&T Unix.
GNU-based Linux distributions include Bison, a forward-compatible Yacc replacement.
