+Document: flex-doc
+Title: flex
+Author: various
+Abstract: Fast LEXical analyzer generator
+ Flex is a tool for generating programs that perform pattern-matching on
+ text. It generates "scanners": programs which recognized lexical
+ patterns in text. `flex' reads the given input files, or its
+ standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a
+ scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of
+ regular expressions and C code, called "rules". `flex' generates as
+ output a C source file, `lex.yy.c', which defines a routine
+ `yylex()'. This file is compiled and linked with the `-lfl' library
+ to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it analyzes
+ its input for occurrences of the regular expressions. Whenever it
+ finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.
