+
+<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
+
+ <i>Lex</i> generates programs to be used in simple lexical analysis of
+ text. The input <i>files</i> (standard input default) contain regular
+ expressions to be searched for and actions written in C to be
+ executed when expressions are found.
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ A C source program, <tt><font size=+1>lex.yy.c</font></tt> is generated. 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.
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ The options have the following meanings.<br>
+ <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;t</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Place the result on the standard output instead of in file <tt><font size=+1>lex.yy.c</font></tt>.<br>
+ <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;v</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print a one-line summary of statistics of the generated analyzer.<br>
+ <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;n</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Opposite of <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;v</font></tt>; <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;n</font></tt> is default.<br>
+ <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;9</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adds code to be able to compile through the native C compilers.<br>
