+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.

+gawk:
+gawk: Gawk is the GNU Project's implementation of the AWK programming
+gawk: language. It conforms to the definition of the language in the POSIX
+gawk: 1003.2 Command Language And Utilities Standard. This version in turn
+gawk: is based on the description in The AWK Programming Language, by Aho,
+gawk: Kernighan, and Weinberger, with the additional features found in the
+gawk: System V Release 4 version of UNIX awk. Gawk also provides more
+gawk: recent Bell Labs awk extensions, and some GNU-specific extensions.
