Method Detail
- getVersion

public static final String getVersion()
```
- main
```
public static void main(String[] args)
```
- handleArgs
```
protected void handleArgs()
```
- handleOptionSetArg
```
protected void handleOptionSetArg(String arg)
```
- processGrammarsOnCommandLine
```
public void processGrammarsOnCommandLine()
```
- process
```
public void process(Grammar g,
           boolean gencode)
```
  To process a grammar, we load all of its imported grammars into subordinate grammar objects. Then we merge the imported rules into the root grammar. If a root grammar is a combined grammar, we have to extract the implicit lexer. Once all this is done, we process the lexer first, if present, and then the parser grammar
- processNonCombinedGrammar
```
public void processNonCombinedGrammar(Grammar g,
                             boolean gencode)
```
- checkForRuleIssues
```
public boolean checkForRuleIssues(Grammar g)
```
  Important enough to avoid multiple defs that we do very early, right after AST construction. Turn redef'd rule's AST RULE node dead field to true. Also check for undefined rules in parser/lexer to avoid exceptions later. Return true if we find an undefined rule.
- sortGrammarByTokenVocab
```
public List<GrammarRootAST> sortGrammarByTokenVocab(List<String> fileNames)
```
- findOptionValueAST
```
public static GrammarAST findOptionValueAST(GrammarRootAST root,
                            String option)
```
  Manually get option node from tree; return null if no defined.
- createGrammar
```
public Grammar createGrammar(GrammarRootAST ast)
```
  Given the raw AST of a grammar, create a grammar object associated with the AST. Once we have the grammar object, ensure that all nodes in tree referred to this grammar. Later, we will use it for error handling and generally knowing from where a rule comes from.
- loadGrammar
```
public GrammarRootAST loadGrammar(String fileName)
```
- loadImportedGrammar
```
public Grammar loadImportedGrammar(Grammar g,
                          String name)
                            throws IOException
```
  Try current dir then dir of g then lib dir
  
  Parameters:
  g -
  name - The imported grammar name.
  
  Throws:
  
  IOException
- loadFromString
```
public GrammarRootAST loadFromString(String grammar)
```
- load
```
public GrammarRootAST load(String fileName,
                  org.antlr.runtime.CharStream in)
```
- generateATNs
```
public void generateATNs(Grammar g)
```
- getOutputFileWriter
```
public Writer getOutputFileWriter(Grammar g,
                         String fileName)
                           throws IOException
```
  This method is used by all code generators to create new output files. If the outputDir set by -o is not present it will be created. The final filename is sensitive to the output directory and the directory where the grammar file was found. If -o is /tmp and the original grammar file was foo/t.g4 then output files go in /tmp/foo. The output dir -o spec takes precedence if it's absolute. E.g., if the grammar file dir is absolute the output dir is given precendence. "-o /tmp /usr/lib/t.g4" results in "/tmp/T.java" as output (assuming t.g4 holds T.java). If no -o is specified, then just write to the directory where the grammar file was found. If outputDirectory==null then write a String.
  
  Throws:
  
  IOException
- getImportedGrammarFile
```
public File getImportedGrammarFile(Grammar g,
                          String fileName)
```
- getOutputDirectory
```
public File getOutputDirectory(String fileNameWithPath)
```
  Return the location where ANTLR will generate output files for a given file. This is a base directory and output files will be relative to here in some cases such as when -o option is used and input files are given relative to the input directory.
  
  Parameters:
  fileNameWithPath - path to input source
- writeDOTFile
```
protected void writeDOTFile(Grammar g,
                Rule r,
                String dot)
                     throws IOException
```
  Throws:
  
  IOException
- writeDOTFile
```
protected void writeDOTFile(Grammar g,
                String name,
                String dot)
                     throws IOException
```
  Throws:
  
  IOException
- help
```
public void help()
```
- log
```
public void log(@Nullable
       String component,
       String msg)
```
- log
```
public void log(String msg)
```
- getNumErrors
```
public int getNumErrors()
```
- addListener
```
public void addListener(ANTLRToolListener tl)
```
- removeListener
```
public void removeListener(ANTLRToolListener tl)
```

```
public void removeListeners()
```
- getListeners
```
public List<ANTLRToolListener> getListeners()
```

```
public void info(String msg)
```
- error
```
public void error(ANTLRMessage msg)
```
- warning
```
public void warning(ANTLRMessage msg)
```
