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.

: You should install flex if you are going to use your system for
: application development.
