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. +Section: Programming + +Format: PDF +Files: /usr/share/doc/flex/flex.pdf.gz + +Format: info +Index: /usr/share/info/flex.info.gz +Files: /usr/share/info/flex.info-1.gz /usr/share/info/flex.info-2.gz |
