mawk cannot handle records separated by nulls, such as for example the ones generated by find. Only the first record is handled:
% mkdir mawk-fails % cd mawk-fails %mawk-fails touch a b c %mawk-fails find -printf "%p\0"|mawk 'BEGIN {RS="\0"} {print}' . gawk works: %mawk-fails find -printf "%p\0"|gawk 'BEGIN {RS="\0"} {print}' . ./a ./b ./c -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
