| Summary : A tool for creating scanners (text pattern recognizers).
|
Description :
The flex program generates scanners. Scanners are programs which can
recognize lexical patterns in text. Flex takes pairs of regular
expressions and C code as input and generates a C source file as
output. The output file is compiled and linked with a library to
produce an executable. The executable searches through its input for
occurrences of the regular expressions. When a match is found, it
executes the corresponding C code.
Flex was designed to work with both Yacc and Bison, and is used by many
programs as part of their build process.
