[d:\projects]bison --help
Usage: bison [-dhklntvyV] [-b file-prefix] [-o outfile] [-p name-prefix]
        [--debug] [--defines] [--fixed-output-files] [--no-lines]
        [--verbose] [--version] [--help] [--yacc]
        [--no-parser] [--token-table]
        [--file-prefix=prefix] [--name-prefix=prefix]
        [-S simple_parser] [-H hairy_parser] [-L libdir]
        [--simple-parser=filename] [--hairy-parser=filename]
        [--library=dirname] [--output=outfile] grammar-file

[d:\projects]bison --version
GNU Bison version 1.25
