- The AWK language is useful for manipulation of data files,
- text retrieval and processing, and for prototyping 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.)
- <P>
- mawk conforms to the Posix 1003.2 (draft 11.3) definition of
- the AWK language which contains a few features not described
