+Package: libmawk
+Architecture: any

+Description: embeddable mawk lib
+ Libmawk is a fork of the popular awk implementation mawk, and aims to be
+ the lightweight script language programmers embed in their application.
+ .
+ This implementation also supports some minor extensions over mawk:
+  - dynamic awk function calls from awk scripts (by name in string)
+  - dynamic variables (access variable by name in string)
+  - include "scriptname.awk"
+ .
+ Besides the shared object, an lmawk binary is also installed, which is
+ command-line-compatible with mawk but provides all those extra features.
