  49     (description
  50      "Flex is a tool for generating scanners. A scanner, sometimes
  51 called a tokenizer, is a program which recognizes lexical patterns in
  52 text. The flex program reads user-specified input files, or its standard
  53 input if no file names are given, for a description of a scanner to
  54 generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular expressions
  55 and C code, called rules. Flex generates a C source file named,
  56 \"lex.yy.c\", which defines the function yylex(). The file \"lex.yy.c\"
  57 can be compiled and linked to produce an executable. When the executable
  58 is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of text matching the
  59 regular expressions for each rule. Whenever it finds a match, it
  60 executes the corresponding C code.")
