.TH INPLACE 3am "Mar 18 2015" "Free Software Foundation" "GNU Awk Extension Modules"
.SH NAME
inplace \- emulate sed/perl/ruby in-place editing
.SH SYNOPSIS
.ft CW
.nf
gawk -i inplace ...
.fi
.ft R
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I inplace
extension adds two functions named
.B inplace_begin()
and
.BR inplace_end() .
These functions are meant to be invoked from the
.I inplace.awk
wrapper which is installed when
.I gawk
is.
.PP
By default, each named file on the command line is
replaced with a new file of the same name whose contents
are the results of running the AWK program.
If the user supplies an AWK variable named
.B INPLACE_SUFFIX
in a
.B BEGIN
rule or on the command line, then the
.I inplace
extension concatenates that suffix onto the original
filename and uses the result as a filename for renaming
the original.
... .SH NOTES
... .SH BUGS
.SH EXAMPLE
.ft CW
.nf
gawk -i inplace '\f(CIscript\fP' files ...
.br
gawk -i inplace -f \f(CIscriptfile\fP files ...
.fi
.ft R
