## mawk-1.3.4.20130219 – fast POSIX-compliant awk

## 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 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 ("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.
