This is useful to allow further arguments to the -AWK program itself to start with a ``\-''. -This is mainly for consistency with the argument parsing convention used -by most other \*(PX programs. -.PP -Following the \*(PX standard, -.IR gawk -specific -options are supplied via arguments to the -.B \-W -option. Multiple -.B \-W -options may be supplied, or multiple arguments may be supplied together -if they are separated by commas, or enclosed in quotes and separated -by white space. -Case is ignored in arguments to the -.B \-W -option. -.PP -The -.B \-W -option accepts the following arguments: -.TP \w'\fBcopyright\fR'u+1n -.B compat -Run in -.I compatibility -mode. In compatibility mode, -.I gawk -behaves identically to \*(UX -.IR awk ; -none of the GNU-specific extensions are recognized. -.TP -.PD 0 -.B copyleft -.TP -.PD -.B copyright -Print the short version of the GNU copyright information message on -the error output. -.TP -.B lint -Provide warnings about constructs that are -dubious or non-portable to other AWK implementations. -.TP -.B posix -This turns on -.I compatibility -mode, with the following additional restrictions: -.RS -.TP \w'\(bu'u+1n -\(bu -.B \ex -escape sequences are not recognized. -.TP -\(bu -The synonym -.B func -for the keyword -.B function -is not recognized. -.TP -\(bu -The operators -.B ** -and -.B **= -cannot be used in place of -.B ^ -and -.BR ^= . -.RE -.TP -.B version -Print version information for this particular copy of -.I gawk -on the error output. -This is useful mainly for knowing if the current copy of -.I gawk -on your system -is up to date with respect to whatever the Free Software Foundation -is distributing. -.PP -Any other options are flagged as illegal, but are otherwise ignored. -.SH AWK PROGRAM EXECUTION -.PP -An AWK program consists of a sequence of pattern-action statements -and optional function definitions. -.RS -.PP -\fIpattern\fB { \fIaction statements\fB }\fR -.br -\fBfunction \fIname\fB(\fIparameter list\fB) { \fIstatements\fB }\fR -.RE -.PP -.I Gawk -first reads the program source from the -.IR program-file (s) -if specified, or from the first non-option argument on the command line. -The -.B \-f -option may be used multiple times on the command line. -.I Gawk -will read the program text as if all the -.IR program-file s -had been concatenated together. This is useful for building libraries -of AWK functions, without having to include them in each new AWK |
