Description:
The gawk package contains the GNU version of awk, a text processing
utility. Awk interprets a special-purpose programming language to do
quick and easy text pattern matching and reformatting jobs.

Install the gawk package if you need a text processing utility. Gawk is
considered to be a standard Linux tool for processing text.

Sisnce version 4.1.0 the three executables gawk, pgawk, and dgawk, have been
merged into one, named just gawk. As a result:

     * The -R option is gone
     * Use -D to run the debugger. An optional file argument is a list of
       commands to run first.
     * Use -o to do pretty-printing only.
     * Use -p to do profiling.

This considerably reduces gawk's "footprint" and eases the documentation burden
as well.
