# The lang/gawk port

## gawk-5.4.0 – GNU awk

## Description

    GNU AWK is a pattern scanning and processing tool.  It conforms to the
    definition of the language in the POSIX 1003.1 Standard.  This version in
    turn is based on the description in The AWK Programming Language, by Aho,
    Kernighan, and Weinberger.  Gawk provides the additional features found in the
    current version of Brian Kernighan's awk(1) and a number of GNU-specific
    extensions.

    Among these extensions:
    - profiler
    - interactive debugger a la GDB
    - file inclusion, useful to share code between Gawk scripts
    - API for loadable extension modules
    - lint mode to warn about possible portability problems
    - bignums, for arbitrary precision arithmetic
    - socket networking
