dcg

The command line tool "dcg" refers to "Definite Clause Grammar", which is a logic-based formalism used for natural language processing. DCG is mainly used in Prolog programming language to define the rules and structure of grammars.

DCG allows the representation of natural language grammars and provides a way to parse and generate sentences based on those grammars. It consists of a set of rules called definite clauses, which define the syntax and semantics of a language.

To use DCG in Prolog, the "dcg/3" predicate is used. It takes three arguments: the input string, the output structure representing the parse tree, and the remaining unparsed input (if any).

With the dcg command line tool, you can input a DCG grammar file and test it against different sentences. It provides a convenient way to experiment and analyze the behavior of grammars defined in DCG.

Overall, the dcg command line tool is a useful tool for working with Definite Clause Grammars in Prolog, allowing you to define and test natural language processing rules.
