AWK is an extremely versatile programming language for working on files and is named after its three original authors:
- Alfred V. Aho
- Brian W. Kernighan
- Peter J. Weinberger
They write: Awk is a convenient and expressive programming language that can be applied to a wide variety of computing and data-manipulation tasks.
Most implementations of awk are interpreters which read your awk source program and parse it and act on it directly. Example implementations:
- nawk, AT&T's `new awk' -- probably nobody uses the `old awk' anymore-- . Interpreter, might NOT be well-maintained
- gawk, GNU project, interpreter.
- mawk, Michael Brennan, interpreter.
- tawk, Thompson Automation, interpreter, compiler, MS-Windows DLL
- mksawk, Mortice Kern Systems (MKS), interpreter, compiler,
