User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.6.0 
man page is:
       getline               Set $0 from next input record; set NF, NR, FNR, RT. 
       getline <file         Set $0 from next record of file; set NF, RT.
       getline var           Set var from next input record; set NR, FNR, RT. 
      q getline var <file     Set var from next record of file, RT.

I think it should be:
       getline               Set $0 from next input record; set NF, NR, FNR, RT. 
       getline <file         Set $0 from next record of file; set NF, RT.
       getline var           Set var from next input record; set NR, FNR, RT.        getline var <file     Set var from next record of file; set RT.                        <---- remove comma, and add word '; set' here.
