OverviewThis chapter
The utility known as Awk, and described as a 'pattern scanning and processing language', is a complete programming language, with a syntax resembling that of C. It can be studied as a language in its own right, or can be integrated into shell programming when other utilities are found to lack sufficient power or flexibility. |
