Mawk is an implementation and fast processor of the AWK programming language.

Mawk is an implementation and fast processor of the AWK programming language. It can be compiled on many POSIX-like systems.

Binary mawk packages are available for many Linux distributions and for Mac OS (e.g., in MacPorts). Mawk is usually installed in addition to the default GNU/awk processor. The provided mawk command can be used as substitute for the default awk command to run AWK scripts. Some Linux distributions even symlink the default awk command to the mawk binary.

The main reason to use mawk instead of awk is performance [2,3,4].
