| 11 | <para>flex is a tool for generating programs which recognize
|

|
|---|
| [6370fa6] | 14 | what to look for and flex will make a program that looks for those
|
|---|
| [60ed866] | 15 | patterns. The reason people use flex is that it is much easier to set up
|

| 16 | rules for what to look for than to write the actual program which finds
