A scanner is a program which + recognizes 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 by + default, which defines a routine yylex(). This file can be compiled and linked + with the flex runtime 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. |
