REVTWOWAY(3am)                        GNU Awk Extension Modules                       REVTWOWAY(3am)



NAME
       revtwoway - Reverse strings sample two-way processor extension

SYNOPSIS
       @load "revtwoway"

       BEGIN {
           cmd = "/magic/mirror"
           print "hello, world" |& cmd
           cmd |& getline result
           print result
           close(cmd)
       }

DESCRIPTION
       The  revtwoway extension adds a simple two-way processor that reverses the characters in each
       line sent to it for reading back by the AWK program.  It's main purpose is  to  show  how  to
       write a two-way extension, although it may also be mildly amusing.
