NAME
gawk - pattern scanning and processing language
SYNOPSIS
gawk [ POSIX or GNU style options ] -f program-file [ -- ]
file ...
gawk [ POSIX or GNU style options ] [ -- ] program-text
file ...
[...]
While it's good in principle to have a clear statement that this
GNU awk, there is no gawk link installed to execute the command
with.
>How-To-Repeat:
man awk
>Fix:
Install a link `gawk' to `awk'.
Unclear if gawk(1) should be adjusted to mention the awk(1)
command name.
