Welcome to | awk, the geeky site dedicated to all things UNIX. You will not find pretty images here, only explanations that you actually have to read and understand. The site name came from an idea that it should represent UNIX for all it’s potential. So, I created this domain pipeawk.com, which is represented as “| awk”. I could not imagine UNIX without the ability to pipe “|”, and awk is one of the most brilliant utility ever created. It allow us to do things like:
ls -l | awk ‘{ print $5 }’
Go a head and test it out and you will see the power of UNIX… I hope that this site will spark your curiosity towards the UNIX operating system and Linux, while Linux is not UNIX, it shares many similarities.
Again, welcome…
