rawk is an AWK implementation written in Rust for people who want a Rust-based take on the classic text-processing language.
The project is designed with a small, readable codebase and a practical command-line interface, making it suitable both for running AWK programs and for building on top of its language engine.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Aims for POSIX-compatible AWK behaviour.
- Includes rawk-core, which provides the AST, parser, and evaluator.
- Includes rawk-cli, which exposes a usable
rawkcommand-line binary. - Supports handling input from files and standard input.
