Question mark before module name

Following this guide: http://relops.com/blog/2014/01/13/leex_and_yecc

leex:file('lex')

This code generates a module with the name ?LEX in Erlang, according to the guide. What's the name in Elixir?

If you call your file lexer.xrl, leex will generate an Erlang file called lexer.erl that defines a module named lexer. You can then use it from Elixir as :lexer.<function>. To see the example of this in the article, search for selector_lexer.xrl.

It will work similarly with parser.yrl – you will get the Erlang module called parser which you can invoke as :parser.<function> in Elixir.
