  20 .sp
  21 .LP
  22 The \fBlex\fR utility generates C programs to be used in lexical processing of
  23 character input, and that can be used as an interface to \fByacc\fR. The C
  24 programs are generated from \fBlex\fR source code and conform to the ISO C
  25 standard. Usually, the \fBlex\fR utility writes the program it generates to the
  26 file \fBlex.yy.c\fR. The state of this file is unspecified if \fBlex\fR exits
  27 with a non-zero exit status. See \fBEXTENDED DESCRIPTION\fR for a complete
  28 description of the \fBlex\fR input language.
