Experiment with pgawk (available only with gawk). What does it do? How can it be useful?

What will be an ideal response?


The pgawk utility is a version of gawk that generates an execution profile of
a gawk run. It runs more slowly than gawk. Unless you specify differently,

the profile appears in a file named awkprof.out. In the left margin the pro-
file lists how many times each statement in a gawk program was executed

and indicates how many times each user function was called. The execution
profile shows where a gawk program spends most of its time; you might be
able to use this information to make the program execute more quickly.
