NAME¶
jlex - lexical analyser generator for Java(tm)
SYNOPSIS¶
jlex specfile
DESCRIPTION¶
JLex takes the language specification in
specfile and generates Java(tm)
source code for a lexical analyser corresponding to the specification.
The lexical analyzer source code is placed in a file whose name is the name of
the JLex specification file, with the string ".java" added to the
end. For example, if the JLex specification file is called
foo.lex, the
lexical analyzer source code file that JLex produces will be called
foo.lex.java.)
The resulting lexical analyzer source code should be compiled with a Java
compiler. This produces a lexical analyzer class file, which can then be used
in your application. If the default settings have not been changed, the
lexical analyzer class will be called Yylex and the class files will named
Yylex.class and Yytoken.class.
