 19 Reentrant C Scanners
 ***********************
 
 `flex' has the ability to generate a reentrant C scanner. This is
 accomplished by specifying `%option reentrant' (`-R') The generated
 scanner is both portable, and safe to use in one or more separate
 threads of control.  The most common use for reentrant scanners is from
 within multi-threaded applications.  Any thread may create and execute
 a reentrant `flex' scanner without the need for synchronization with
 other threads.
