> Lexical analyzer generator.
|
||
|
|
> Given the specification for a lexical analyzer, generates C code implementing it.

|
|
- Generate an analyzer from a Lex file, storing it to the file `lex.yy.c`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`flex {{analyzer.l}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Write analyzer to `stdout`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`flex {{[-t|--stdout]}} {{analyzer.l}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Specify the output file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`flex {{analyzer.l}} {{[-o|--outfile]}} {{analyzer.c}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Generate a batch scanner instead of an interactive scanner:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`flex {{[-B|--batch]}} {{analyzer.l}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Compile a C file generated by Lex:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`cc {{path/to/lex.yy.c}} -o {{executable}}`
