DESCRIPTION
mawk is an interpreter for the AWK Programming Language. The AWK language is useful for manipulation of data files, text retrieval and processing, and for prototyp‐
ing and experimenting with algorithms. mawk is a new awk meaning it implements the AWK language as defined in Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger, The AWK Programming
Language, Addison-Wesley Publishing, 1988. (Hereafter referred to as the AWK book.) mawk conforms to the Posix 1003.2 (draft 11.3) definition of the AWK language
which contains a few features not described in the AWK book, and mawk provides a small number of extensions.
An AWK program is a sequence of pattern {action} pairs and function definitions. Short programs are entered on the command line usually enclosed in ’ ’ to avoid
shell interpretation. Longer programs can be read in from a file with the -f option. Data input is read from the list of files on the command line or from stan‐
dard input when the list is empty. The input is broken into records as determined by the record separator variable, RS. Initially, RS = "\n" and records are syn‐
onymous with lines. Each record is compared against each pattern and if it matches, the program text for {action} is executed.
OPTIONS -F value sets the field separator, FS, to value.
