Effective Awk Programming: Text Processing and Pattern Matching - Advanced Features of Gawk
Overview This paper discusses advanced features in gawk. It's a bit of a "Grab bag" of items that are otherwise unrelated to each other. First, a command-line option allows gawk to recognize nondecimal numbers in input data, not just in awk programs. Next, two-way I/O, discussed briefly in earlier parts of this paper, is described in full detail, along with the basics of TCP/IP networking and BSD portal files. Finally, gawk can profile an awk program, making it possible to tune it for performance.
