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

revtwoway - Reverse strings sample two-way processor extension

@load "revtwoway"

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

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.
