.SH NAME
spl2c \- The Shakespeare Programming Language Compiler
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B spl2c
<
.I inputfile
>
.I outputfile
.SH DESCRIPTION
spl2c compiles code written in the Shakespeare Programming Language into
c-code, which than can be compiled by gcc (or any c-compiler). The c-code
produced by spl2c must be linked with libspl.a, which is provided with the
spl2c compiler.
.SH RETURN VALUES
spl2c returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
.SH EXAMPLES
In this example, we first compile the hello world program from spl to c and
then compile it with gcc into a binary. On my system I also need to link
against the math-libary (libm.a), because it is used in libspl.a and not
included by default:

.PD 0
$ spl2c < hello.spl > hello.c
.P
$ gcc -o hello hello.c -lspl -lm
.P
$ ./hello
.P
Hello World!
