runawk
runawk is a small wrapper for the AWK interpreter that helps one write standalone AWK scripts. Its main feature is to provide a module/library system for AWK which is somewhat similar to Perl's "use" command. It also allows one to select a preferred AWK interpreter and to set up the environment for AWK scripts. Dozens of ready for use [modules].awk are also provided.

Release Notes: This release adds runawk_modules.3 where all modules are documented, deprecates long options, removes the -i and -I options, and includes man pages in the distribution tarball so pod2man is not needed for building.
- 22 Jul 2012 16:24
Release Notes: The path to the awk interpreter is detected at build time (not hardcoded /usr/bin/awk). This fixes runawk on, for example, Haiku. Minor fixes in the documentation. Clean-ups and improvements in the build system.
- 03 Dec 2011 00:08
Release Notes: In exitnow.awk, the exitnow(status) function now finishes the execution of the script without running END sections even if status == 0. The new module io.awk includes the functions is_{file,dir,exec,socket,fifo,blockdev,chardev,symlink}, file_size, and file_type. tokenre.awk has the new function splitre0().
