Description :
: This is legacy version of flex, a program that 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.
