  • Date Time

After a year of development, a new release of the AWK programming language from the GNU project – gawk 5.3.0 – has been presented. AWK, which was developed in the 70s, has remained stable and simple since the mid-80s. It is widely used by administrators for text file analysis and generating statistics.

Key changes:

  • Work was carried out to ensure compatibility with bwk (“The One True AWK”).
  • Added option “–csv” to analyze files in CSV format (Comm-Separated Values).
  • Added the possibility of using Escape readings of ” U” to represent multi-byte Unicode symbols.
  • The use of the libsigsegv library.
  • Added support for the bufferization of the output when indicating the Procinfo [“Bufferpipe”].
