Description: A fast lexical analyzer generator.
 Flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognized lexical
 patterns in text. It reads the given input files for a description of a
 scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular
 expressions and C code, called rules. Flex generates as output a C source
 file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex().  This file is compiled
 and linked with the -lfl library to produce an executable. When the
 executable is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of the regular
 expressions. Whenever it finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.
Description-sk: <trans>
 Flex je nástroj na tvorbu skenerov - programov rozpoznávajúcich lexikálne
 vzory v texte. Načíta zo zadaných vstupných súbory popis skenera, ktorý má
 vytvoriť. Popis je v tvare dvojíc regulárnych výrazov a kódu v jazyku C,
 ktoré sa nazývajú pravidlá. Flex generuje na výstupe zdrojový súbor
 lex.yy.c v jazyku C, ktorý definuje funkciu yylex(). Tento súbor
 skompilovaný a linkovaný voči knižnici -lfl vytvorí spustiteľný súbor, ktorý
 po spustení analyzuje výskyty regulárnych výrazov na svojom vstupe a vykoná
 zodpovedajúci kód v jazyku C.
