<h1> Intro </h1>
<p>
Libmawk is a fork of mawk 1.3.3, restructured for embedding. This means the
user gets libmawk.h and libmawk.so and can embed awk scripting language
in any application written in C or in any language that can use libraries
written in C.
<p>
Libmawk implements a full featured awk dialect with pattern matching, regular
expressions, file I/O (that can be controlled by the app to provide a
safe/sandboxed environment) and a few extensions.
<p>
Libmawk is licensed under the GNU GPL, which affects the license of the
application it is linked to. There is a sister project called
<a href="http://www.repo.hu/projects/libfawk">libfawk</a>, which
is a minimalistic awk dialect written from scratch, covered by a BSD license.
