| Summary | 0000254: awk -f - | ||||
| Description | The standard requires that "awk -f -" treats the '-' as a pathname. However, existing practice in all versions of awk that I have tried is that it reads the program from standard input, not from a file named '-'. | ||||
| Desired Action | After Specify the pathname of the file progfile containing an awk program. add A pathname of '-' shall denote the standard input. At line 77143 change The standard input shall be used only if no file operands are specified, or if a file operand is '-'; to The standard input shall be used only if no file operands are specified, or if a file operand is '-', or if a progfile option-argument is '-'; | ||||

The standard states that implementations must not used standard input when a progfile option argument of "-" is given, and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- This is not historic practice. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- Make the changes suggested by the submitter in the Desired Action field above. |
