AWK is a small but powerful programming language that can process and convert text files. AWK is part of every [[Unix]]-derived system
Each AWK program consists of pattern-action statements. The program reads each input line, checks lines against patterns, and runs matching actions. For programs that never read input lines, the entire program can be one <code>BEGIN { ... }</code> block.
