data Lexeme

Haskell lexemes. Constructors Char Char Character literal String String String literal, with escapes interpreted Punc String Punctuation or reserved symbol, e.g. (, :: Ident String Haskell identifier, e.g. foo, Baz Symbol String Haskell symbol, e.g. >>, :% Int Integer Integer literal Rat Rational Floating point literal EOF Instances Eq Lexeme Read Lexeme Show Lexeme

lex :: ReadP Lexeme

hsLex :: ReadP String

Haskell lexer: returns the lexed string, rather than the lexeme

lexChar :: ReadP Char

readIntP :: Num a => a -> (Char -> Bool) -> (Char -> Int) -> ReadP a

readOctP :: Num a => ReadP a

readDecP :: Num a => ReadP a

readHexP :: Num a => ReadP a
