flex: Compile a C file generated by flex.

$ cc ${path-to-lex-yy-c} --output ${executable}

try on your machine

This command is likely used to compile a program written in Lex and Yacc (also known as Lex and Yacc C files). Here is the breakdown of the command:

cc: This is the name of the C compiler command. It can vary depending on the specific system, but it generally refers to a command that compiles C source code.
${path-to-lex-yy-c}: This is a placeholder variable indicating the path to the Lex and Yacc C files. You need to replace ${path-to-lex-yy-c} with the actual path to the Lex and Yacc C files on your system.
--output: This is an option that specifies the name of the output file that will be generated by the compiler.
${executable}: This is another placeholder variable representing the desired name of the compiled executable file. You should replace ${executable} with the desired name of your executable.

To use the command, you will need to replace the placeholder variables with the actual paths and names specific to your situation.
