About a2p
The a2p command takes an awk
script specified on the command line and produces a comparable perl
script on standard output.
Syntax
a2p [options] [filename]
| -D<number> |
Sets debugging flags. |
| -F<character> |
Tells a2p that this awk script is always invoked with this -F switch. |
| -n<fieldlist> |
Specifies the names of the input fields if input does not have to be split into an array. If you were translating an awk script that processes the password file, you might say:
a2p -7 -nlogin.password.uid.gid.gcos.shell.home
Any delimiter can be used to separate the field names.
|
| -<number> |
Causes a2p to assume that input will always have that
many fields. |
| -o |
Tells a2p to use old awk behavior. For now, the only difference is that old awk always has a line loop, even if there are no line actions, whereas new awk does not. |
Examples
a2p myfile - would convert the file myfile.
