The Zerg library contains a C/flex lexical scanner for BLAST reports and a set of supporting functions. It is centered on a “get_token” function that scans the input for specified lexical elements and, when one is found, returns its code and value to the user.
It is intended to be fast: for that the authors used flex, which provides simple regular expression matching and input buffering in the generated C scanner.
