A scanner, sometimes +called a tokenizer, is a program which recognizes lexical patterns in +text. The flex program reads user-specified 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 a C source file named, +\"lex.yy.c\", which defines the function yylex(). The file \"lex.yy.c\" +can be compiled and linked to produce an executable. When the executable +is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of text matching the +regular expressions for each rule. Whenever it finds a match, it +executes the corresponding C code.") + (license (bsd-style "file://COPYING" + "See COPYING in the distribution.")))) + |
