QSEAWK is an AWK interpreter and is a part of the @ref qse_intro "QSE" library.
Its design focuses on building a flexible and robust embedding API with minimal
platform dependency. An embedding application is capable of:
- adding new global variables and functions.
- getting and set the value of a global variable.
- calling a function with or without parameters and getting its return value.

Embedding an interpreter typically involves the following steps.
The library implements AWK in multiple levels:
- base interpreter
- standard interpreter
- parallel interpreter
The base interpreter provides most core language features while minimizing
platform dependence. When working with the base interpreter, you're required
to write primtive operation handlers like I/O and pass them in to make it
useful. The standard interpreter is usable immediately since it implements
all the primitive operations required by the base interpreter and adds
standard AWK functions. The parallel interpreter enables parallel processing
by adding various MPI variables and functions to the standard interpreter.
Embedding a standard interpreter typically involves the following steps.
- open a new interpreter
- parse in a source script

in a console environment. The source code is located under the
