About goawk
From Debian's package description
GoAWK is a POSIX-compatible version of AWK, and additionally has a CSV mode for reading and writing CSV and TSV files.
Additional features GoAWK has over AWK:
- It has proper support for CSV and TSV files.
- It's the only AWK implementation with a code coverage feature.
- It supports negative field indexes to access fields from the right, for example, $-1 refers to the last field.
- It's embeddable in your Go programs! You can even call custom Go functions from your AWK scripts.
- Most AWK scripts are faster than awk and on a par with gawk, though usually slower than mawk.
- The parser supports 'single-quoted strings' in addition to "double- quoted strings", primarily to make Windows one-liners easier when using the cmd.exe shell (which uses " as the quote character).
This package provides the CLI interface to goawk.
