Chapter 10. Options

ocamllex has the following options:

• -o output-file

  By default, ocamllex produces lexer.ml, when ocamllex is invoked as "ocamllex lexer.mll". You can change the name of the output file using -o option.

• -ml

  By default, ocamllex produces code that uses the Caml built-in automata interpreter. Using this option, the automaton is coded as Caml functions. This option is useful for debugging ocamllex, but it's not recommended for production lexers.

• -q

  By default, ocamllex outputs informational messages to standard output. If you use -q option, they are suppressed.
