.SH NAME
libmawk_run_main \- run main parts of a script
.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libmawk_run_main ()
attempts to take and parse the next input record and runs all main
parts of the script that matches. If there are multiple full records
in the input buffer, the process repeats until the buffer becomes empty
or contains a partial record. If there is no full record in the buffer,
the call returns with nothing done. The call itself never blocks, but the
script may. The input buffer may be filled using the libmawk_append_input()
call.
.sp
Argument m is a libmawk context previously returned by libmawk_initialize()
or libmawk_initialize_stage3().
