cpsa-2.5.0: doc/bcasyntax.tex

The complete syntax for the analyzer using the Basic Crypto Algebra is
shown in Tables~\ref{tab:syntax} and~\ref{tab:goal}.  The start
grammar symbol is \textsc{file}, and the terminal grammar symbols
are: \textsc{(, ), symbol, string, integer,} and the constants set in
typewriter font.  The language used for stating security goals is in
Table~\ref{tab:goal}.  The goal language adds the sort
symbol \texttt{node}.

The \textsc{alist}, \textsc{prot-alist}, \textsc{role-alist},
\textsc{skel-alist}, and \textsc{goal-alist} productions are
Lisp style association lists, that is, lists of key-value pairs, where
every key is a symbol.  Key-value pairs with unrecognized keys are
ignored, and are available for use by other tools.  On output,
unrecognized key-value pairs are preserved when printing protocols,
but elided when printing skeletons.

The contents of a file can be interpreted as a sequence of
S-expressions.  The S-expressions used are restricted so that most
dialects of Lisp can read them, and characters within symbols and
strings never need quoting.  Every list is proper.  An S-expression
atom is either a \textsc{symbol}, an \textsc{integer}, or
a \textsc{string}.  The characters that make up a symbol are the
letters, the digits, and the special characters in
``\verb|-*/<=>!?:$%_&~^+|''.  A symbol may not begin with a digit or a
sign followed by a digit.  The characters that make up a string are
the printing characters omitting double quote and backslash.  Double
quotes delimit a string.  A comment\index{comments} begins with a
semicolon, or is an S-expression list at top-level that starts with
the \texttt{comment} symbol.
