(gawk.info)Sample Library


Directory and File Operation Built-ins
--------------------------------------

   Two useful functions that are not in `awk' are `chdir' (so that an
`awk' program can change its directory) and `stat' (so that an `awk'
program can gather information about a file).  This minor node
implements these functions for `gawk' in an external extension library.

Internal File Description: What the new functions will do.
