B.1.3 Contents of the `gawk' Distribution
-----------------------------------------
The `gawk' distribution has a number of C source files, documentation
files, subdirectories, and files related to the configuration process
( Unix Installation), as well as several subdirectories related
to different non-Unix operating systems:
Various `.c', `.y', and `.h' files
The actual `gawk' source code.
`README'
`README_d/README.*'
Descriptive files: `README' for `gawk' under Unix and the rest for
the various hardware and software combinations.
`INSTALL'
A file providing an overview of the configuration and installation
process.
`ChangeLog'
A detailed list of source code changes as bugs are fixed or
improvements made.
`ChangeLog.0'
An older list of source code changes.
`NEWS'
A list of changes to `gawk' since the last release or patch.
`NEWS.0'
An older list of changes to `gawk'.
`COPYING'
The GNU General Public License.
`FUTURES'
A brief list of features and changes being contemplated for future
releases, with some indication of the time frame for the feature,
based on its difficulty.
`LIMITATIONS'
A list of those factors that limit `gawk''s performance. Most of
these depend on the hardware or operating system software and are
not limits in `gawk' itself.
`POSIX.STD'
A description of behaviors in the POSIX standard for `awk' which
are left undefined, or where `gawk' may not comply fully, as well
as a list of things that the POSIX standard should describe but
does not.
`doc/awkforai.txt'
Pointers to the original draft of a short article describing why
`gawk' is a good language for Artificial Intelligence (AI)
programming.
`doc/bc_notes'
A brief description of `gawk''s "byte code" internals.
`doc/README.card'
`doc/ad.block'
`doc/awkcard.in'
`doc/cardfonts'
`doc/colors'
`doc/macros'
`doc/no.colors'
`doc/setter.outline'
The `troff' source for a five-color `awk' reference card. A
modern version of `troff' such as GNU `troff' (`groff') is needed
to produce the color version. See the file `README.card' for
instructions if you have an older `troff'.
`doc/gawk.1'
The `troff' source for a manual page describing `gawk'. This is
distributed for the convenience of Unix users.
`doc/gawk.texi'
The Texinfo source file for this Info file. It should be
processed with TeX (via `texi2dvi' or `texi2pdf') to produce a
printed document, and with `makeinfo' to produce an Info or HTML
file.
`doc/gawk.info'
The generated Info file for this Info file.
`doc/gawkinet.texi'
The Texinfo source file for (General Introduction)Top
gawkinet, TCP/IP Internetworking with `gawk'. It should be
processed with TeX (via `texi2dvi' or `texi2pdf') to produce a
printed document and with `makeinfo' to produce an Info or HTML
file.
`doc/gawkinet.info'
The generated Info file for `TCP/IP Internetworking with `gawk''.
`doc/igawk.1'
The `troff' source for a manual page describing the `igawk'
program presented in Igawk Program.
`doc/Makefile.in'
The input file used during the configuration process to generate
the actual `Makefile' for creating the documentation.
`Makefile.am'
`*/Makefile.am'
Files used by the GNU `automake' software for generating the
`Makefile.in' files used by `autoconf' and `configure'.
`Makefile.in'
`aclocal.m4'
`configh.in'
`configure.ac'
`configure'
`custom.h'
`missing_d/*'
`m4/*'
These files and subdirectories are used when configuring `gawk'
for various Unix systems. They are explained in Unix
Installation.
`po/*'
The `po' library contains message translations.
`awklib/extract.awk'
`awklib/Makefile.am'
`awklib/Makefile.in'
`awklib/eg/*'
The `awklib' directory contains a copy of `extract.awk' (
Extract Program), which can be used to extract the sample
programs from the Texinfo source file for this Info file. It also
contains a `Makefile.in' file, which `configure' uses to generate
a `Makefile'. `Makefile.am' is used by GNU Automake to create
`Makefile.in'. The library functions from Library
Functions, and the `igawk' program from Igawk Program,
are included as ready-to-use files in the `gawk' distribution.
They are installed as part of the installation process. The rest
of the programs in this Info file are available in appropriate
subdirectories of `awklib/eg'.
`posix/*'
Files needed for building `gawk' on POSIX-compliant systems.
`pc/*'
Files needed for building `gawk' under MS-Windows and OS/2 (
PC Installation, for details).
`vms/*'
Files needed for building `gawk' under VMS ( VMS
Installation, for details).
`test/*'
A test suite for `gawk'. You can use `make check' from the
top-level `gawk' directory to run your version of `gawk' against
the test suite. If `gawk' successfully passes `make check', then
you can be confident of a successful port.
