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 specifica-
       tion.

       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.
