Mr. Homer had a web app of some sort that parsed CLIs; it might be helpful.

@terdon No, my intention was to make diagrams of shell syntax constructs, such as while loops etc.
I.e., the grammar, not of any one particular use of the grammar.
... as is done in the SQLite docs: sqlite.org/syntax/compound-select-stmt.html
 
@Kusalananda Oooh so just any flowchart generator would do then?
 
Weeeell, as long as it takes input in a sane format.
BTW, I just finished reading "UNIX, A History and a Memoir" by Brian Kernighan. I can recommend it.

@Kusalananda in case it's useful, I re-discovered the page I was thinking of in regards to shell diagrams: homepages.ecs.vuw.ac.nz/~mwh/pipevis/…
