+cat << EOF
+pacc is a compiler-compiler, somewhat like yacc (or bison). Its input is a
+description of a grammar, and its output is a C function that recognizes
+strings of that grammar. The significant technical difference is this:
+yacc reads a context-free grammar (CFGs), and writes a LALR(1) parser;
+pacc reads a parsing expression grammar (PEG), and writes a packrat parser.
+
+PEGs and packrat parsing offer several advantages over CFGs.
+
+* There is no need for a two-level structure with a separate lexer (this is
+ essentially a misfeature of CFGs - they are unable to express standard
+ tokenization rules naturally).
+* PEGs can “look ahead” in the input as far as they need to. * Despite
+arbitrary look-ahead, packrat parsers are linear in time and
+ space complexity: O(n) in the size of the input (whereas LALR(1) parsers
+ are O(n²), and fully general CFG parsing is O(n³)).
+* PEGs are easy to understand, and pleasant to work with.
