Re: [bug-gawk] New Features for gawk

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

Guenter Goebel suggests new gawk options --start-record and --ignore-eof.

The pattern/action pair

        (FNR > 2) && /Network is unreachable/ { print $0 }

should simulate the first, and work with all awk implementations.

I'm unclear about the purpose of --ignore-eof, but perhaps
it too is unneeded.
