Info

274 GAWK: Effective AWK Programmingthe gawk distribution contains information on these shells. Users of Stewartson’s shell onDOS should examine its documentation for handling command lines; in particular, thesetting for gawk in the shell configuration may need to be changed and the ignoretypeoption may also be of interest.Under OS/2 and DOS, gawk (and many other text programs) silently translate end-ofline"\r\n" to "\n" on input and "\n" to "\r\n" on output. A special BINMODE variableallows control over these translations and is interpreted as follows:• If BINMODE is ‘"r"’, or one, then binary mode is set on read (i.e., no translations onreads).• If BINMODE is "w", or two, then binary mode is set on write (i.e., no translations onwrites).• If BINMODE is "rw" or "wr" or three, binary mode is set for both read and write.• BINMODE=non-null-string is the same as ‘BINMODE=3’ (i.e., no translations on readsor writes). However, gawk issues a warning message if the string is not one of "rw" or"wr".The modes for standard input and standard output are set one time only (after the commandline is read, but before processing any of the awk program). Setting BINMODE for standardinput or standard output is accomplished by using an appropriate ‘-v BINMODE=N’ optionon the command line. BINMODE is set at the time a file or pipe is opened and cannot bechanged mid-stream.The name BINMODE was chosen to match mawk (see Section B.6 [Other Freely Availableawk Implementations], page 281). Both mawk and gawk handle BINMODE similarly; however,mawk adds a ‘-W BINMODE=N’ option and an environment variable that can set BINMODE,RS, and ORS. The files ‘binmode[1-3].awk’ (under ‘gnu/lib/awk’ in some of the prepareddistributions) have been chosen to match mawk’s ‘-W BINMODE=N’ option. These can bechanged or discarded; in particular, the setting of RS giving the fewest “surprises” is opento debate. mawk uses ‘RS = "\r\n"’ if binary mode is set on read, which is appropriate forfiles with the DOS-style end-of-line.To illustrate, the following examples set binary mode on writes for standard output andother files, and set ORS as the “usual” DOS-style end-of-line:or:gawk -v BINMODE=2 -v ORS="\r\n" ...gawk -v BINMODE=w -f binmode2.awk ...These give the same result as the ‘-W BINMODE=2’ option in mawk. The following changes therecord separator to "\r\n" and sets binary mode on reads, but does not affect the modeon standard input:or:gawk -v RS="\r\n" --source "BEGIN { BINMODE = 1 }" ...gawk -f binmode1.awk ...With proper quoting, in the first example the setting of RS can be moved into the BEGINrule.
Appendix B: Installing gawk 275B.3.1.5 Using gawk In The Cygwin Environmentgawk can be used “out of the box” under Windows if you are using the Cygwin environment.This environment provides an excellent simulation of Unix, using the GNU tools, such asbash, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Make, and other GNU tools. Compilationand installation for Cygwin is the same as for a Unix system:tar -xvpzf gawk-3.1.8.tar.gzcd gawk-3.1.8./configuremakeWhen compared to GNU/Linux on the same system, the ‘configure’ step on Cygwintakes considerably longer. However, it does finish, and then the ‘make’ proceeds as usual.NOTE: The ‘|&’ operator and TCP/IP networking (see Section 10.3 [Usinggawk for Network Programming], page 172) are fully supported in the Cygwinenvironment. This is not true for any other environment for MS-DOS or MS-Windows.B.3.1.6 Using gawk In The MSYS EnvironmentIn the MSYS environment under Windows, gawk automatically uses binary mode for readingand writing files. Thus there is no need to use the BINMODE variable.This can cause problems with other Unix-like components that have been ported toWindows that expect gawk to do automatic translation of "\r\n", since it won’t. CaveatEmptor!B.3.2 How to Compile and Install gawk on VMSThis subsection describes how to compile and install gawk under VMS.B.3.2.1 Compiling gawk on VMSTo compile gawk under VMS, there is a DCL command procedure that issues all the necessaryCC and LINK commands. There is also a ‘Makefile’ for use with the MMS utility. From thesource directory, use either:or:$ @[.VMS]VMSBUILD.COM$ MMS/DESCRIPTION=[.VMS]DESCRIP.MMS GAWKDepending upon which C compiler you are using, follow one of the sets of instructionsin this table:VAX C V3.xUse either ‘vmsbuild.com’ or ‘descrip.mms’ as is. These useCC/OPTIMIZE=NOLINE, which is essential for Version 3.0.VAX C V2.xYou must have Version 2.3 or 2.4; older ones won’t work. Edit either‘vmsbuild.com’ or ‘descrip.mms’ according to the comments in them. For‘vmsbuild.com’, this just entails removing two ‘!’ delimiters. Also edit‘config.h’ (which is a copy of file ‘[.config]vms-conf.h’) and comment out
