Really cool, use it sometimes but never understood it really. It is so useful to get strings from whatever file you want

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, really, I only know awk '{ print $SOME_COLUMN_NUMBER }', nothing else.
It's strange to me people refer to the awk command rather than the AWK language.
pipx is also a good way to install a virtualenv and link up any executables that the package exposes.
Edit: So installation would be:
pipx install awktutorial
And it would automatically make the executable available to the user as long as pipx's bin directory is in the user's PATH.
