The lex(1) man page says:
...yyless(p) ... p should be between yytext and yytext+yyleng
however the lex users manual says:
yyless(n), n=number of chars to retain in yytext
The bahaviour of lex is that of the latter. So change the lex(1)
man page to show that the argument to yyless() is a number, not a
pointer.
(Error appears in Sun (bsd) manuals, and HPUX (SysV) manuals).
