- _L_e_x generates programs to be used in simple lexical analyis
- of text. The input _f_i_l_e_s (standard input default) contain
- regular expressions to be searched for, and actions written
- in C to be executed when expressions are found.
-
- A C source program, 'lex.yy.c' is generated, to be compiled
- thus:
-
- cc lex.yy.c -ll
-
- This program, when run, copies unrecognized portions of the
- input to the output, and executes the associated C action
- for each regular expression that is recognized.
-
- The options have the following meanings.
-
- --tt Place the result on the standard output instead of in
- file "lex.yy.c".
-
- --vv Print a one-line summary of statistics of the generated
- analyzer.
-
- --nn Opposite of --vv; --nn is default.
-
- --ff "Faster" compilation: don't bother to pack the result-
- ing tables; limited to small programs.

- would draw _l_e_x instructions from the file _l_e_x_c_o_m_m_a_n_d_s, and
- place the output in _l_e_x._y_y._c
-
-
- %%
- [A-Z] putchar(yytext[0]+'a'-'A');
- [ ]+$ ;
- [ ]+ putchar(' ');
-
- is an example of a _l_e_x program that would be put into a _l_e_x
- command file. This program converts upper case to lower,
- removes blanks at the end of lines, and replaces multiple
- blanks by single blanks.
