Package: goawk (1.29.0-1 and others)

POSIX-compliant AWK interpreter written in Go, with CSV support (program)

GoAWK is a POSIX-compatible version of AWK, and additionally has a CSV mode for reading and writing CSV and TSV files.

Additional features GoAWK has over AWK:

 * It has proper support for CSV and TSV files.
 * It's the only AWK implementation with a code coverage feature.
 * It supports negative field indexes to access fields from the right,
   for example, $-1 refers to the last field.
 * It's embeddable in your Go programs! You can even call custom Go
   functions from your AWK scripts.
 * Most AWK scripts are faster than awk and on a par with gawk, though
   usually slower than mawk.
 * The parser supports 'single-quoted strings' in addition to "double-
   quoted strings", primarily to make Windows one-liners easier when using
   the cmd.exe shell (which uses " as the quote character).

This package provides the CLI interface to goawk.
