NAME

       jflex - a lexical analyzer generator (also known as scanner generator) for Java

SYNOPSIS

       jflex <options> <input-files>

DESCRIPTION

       JFlex is a lexical analyzer generator (also known as scanner generator) for Java(tm), written in Java(tm). It is also a rewrite of the very
       useful tool JLex. JFlex is designed to work together with the LALR parser generator  CUP,  and  the  Java  modification	of  Berkeley  Yacc
       BYacc/J. It can also be used together with other parser generators like ANTLR or as a standalone tool.
