bison: Specify the output filename.
$ bison --output ${path-to-output-c} ${filename-y}

The command "bison" is used to generate a parser. This command takes two arguments, "--output" and the input file.

--output specifies the output file where the generated C code will be written. In this case, it uses the variable ${path-to-output-c} which should be replaced with the actual path and name of the output file.

${filename-y} specifies the input file containing the grammar rules that define the language being parsed. This variable should also be replaced with the actual path and name of the grammar file.

So, when this command is executed, bison will read the grammar file (${filename-y}), generate a parser based on the grammar rules, and write the resulting C code to the specified output file (${path-to-output-c}).

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
