Package: libmawk1 (1.0.2-3)

embeddable mawk lib

Libmawk is a fork of the popular awk implementation mawk, and aims to be the lightweight script language programmers embed in their application.

This implementation also supports some minor extensions over mawk:

 - dynamic awk function calls from awk scripts (by name in string)
 - dynamic variables (access variable by name in string)
 - include "scriptname.awk"

Besides the shared object, an lmawk binary is also installed, which is command-line-compatible with mawk but provides all those extra features.
