QTAwk is invoked as:
QTAwk "utility"
"utility" is a QTAwk pattern\action utility. Input is read from the
standard input file until the end-of-file is encountered. The standard
input file is the console, unless it has been redirected or piped.
QTAwk "utility" scanfile1 [-] scanfile2 [--] ...
"utility" is an QTAwk pattern\action utility. Input is read from the
scanfiles listed until the end-of-file is encountered in each. A
single hyphen, '-', will utilize the standard input file in that
position in the scanfile sequence.
A double hyphen, '--', will stop the scan for command line options.
The double hyphen argument will be dropped from the command line
arguments and is not included in the ARGC count or ARGV array.
Options:
-futility.exp
or
-f utility.exp
"utility.exp" is an ASCII file containing a QTAwk pattern/action
utility to execute. The utility file is read after the command line is
scanned for further options. Multiple utility files may be specified.
Each utility file is read in the order specified.
-Fstr_value
or
-F str_value
FS, the input field separator, is set to the string "str_value". A
second "-F" option will cause an error and execution is halted.
var=value
or
"var = value"
The variable var will be set equal to "value" prior to opening the next
input file for reading. The variable named is set prior to executing
any "BEGIN" or "INITIAL" actions.
