# gawk
The gawk packages contains the GNU version of awk, a text processing utility.
Awk interprets a special-purpose programming language to do quick and easy text pattern matching and reformatting jobs.
Gawk should be upwardly compatible with the Bell Labs research version of awk and is almost completely compliant with the 1993 POSIX 1003.2 standard for awk.
Install the gawk package if you need a text processing utility.
Gawk is considered to be a standard Linux tool for processing text.
