longtitle=" 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. This is the documentation \
for the old 2.5.4a version of flex, provided for backwards compatibility." \
