Gawk should be functionally compatible with nawk.
Awk was in version 7 Unix -- it's a K&P thing, I think. Nawk appeared with
System V from ATT-land. Gawk is the GNU tooling and combines most of the
function of both (It's a superset of both awk and nawk).
and then Debian uses mawk which "is smaller and much faster than gawk."
