Description-en: Old version of the fast lexical analyzer generator
flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognize lexical
patterns in text. This is the old 2.5.4a version, which is no longer
being developed. You should normally choose flex, unless you have
legacy lexer files that do not work with a modern flex.
