awk
awk Linux Command on Chrome OS
Awk is a powerful programming language created for text processing and generally used as a data extraction and reporting tool.
There are multiple package variations to awk in the Debian container within chromeOS.
These include:
gawk
GNU awk, a pattern scanning and processing language
Gawk is generally recognized as the de-facto implementation of awk. As a programming language, GNU has the advantage of making it an official GNU/Linux package that can enjoy wide adoption within the community.
GNU Project’s implementation of the AWK programming language conforms to the language standard of POSIX 1003.2 Command Language And Utilities. advantageously, Gawk also provides more recent Bell Labs awk extensions, and some GNU-specific extensions.
mawk
Pattern scanning and text processing language
mawk is an interpreter for the AWK Programming Language. The AWK language is useful for manipulation of data files, text retrieval and processing, and for prototyping and experimenting with algorithms.
