.SH NAME
gringo \- a grounder for non-ground logic programs
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gringo
.RI [options] [files]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B gringo
command.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
.\" respectively.
\fBgringo\fP is a grounder for non-ground answer set programs. Current
answer set solvers work on variable-free programs. Hence, a grounder
is needed that, given an input program with first-order variables,
computes an equivalent ground (variable-free) program.
.SH OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
A summary of options is included below.
For a complete description, see the potassco-guide.
