+SUMMARY="A pattern scanning and processing language"
+DESCRIPTION="
+If you are like many computer users, you would frequently like to make \
+changes in various text files wherever certain patterns appear, or \
+extract data from parts of certain lines while discarding the rest. To \
+write a program to do this in a language such as C or Pascal is a \
+time-consuming inconvenience that may take many lines of code. The job \
+is easy with awk, especially the GNU implementation: gawk.
+
+The awk utility interprets a special-purpose programming language that \
+makes it possible to handle simple data-reformatting jobs with just a \
+few lines of code.
