lex(1) (MLX Addendum)              (MLX)              lex(1) (MLX Addendum)

NAME
     lex - generate programs for simple lexical tasks (MLX addendum)

SYNOPSIS
     lex [-ctvn -V -Q[y|n]] [file]

DESCRIPTION
     (International Function) lex can process characters from supplementary
     code sets as well as ASCII characters.

     Characters from supplementary code sets can be specified in comments
     which exist in definitions, rules, and user subroutines.

     Characters from supplementary code sets can be specified in strings
     which exist in actions in rules and in user subroutines.

     Character strings from supplementary code sets can be defined as
     tokens.

WARNING
     input(), unput(c), and output(c) functions are performed by byte, not
     character. The value of yyleng is also in bytes, not characters.

LIMITATIONS
     Characters from supplementary code sets which define tokens are res-
     tricted to single-byte characters.
