I recently learned otherwise. Recent versions of mawk have borrowed this useful feature, possibly because some Linux distributions have taken to mawk as a faster substitute for GNU awk.

Strange behaviour of the strftime() function from gawk (3.1.5):
$ awk 'BEGIN{print strftime("%T", 3600)}'
> 02:00:00
$ awk 'BEGIN{print strftime("%T", 0)}'
> 01:00:00
Obviously something with DST but I can not figure out why? To me 3600 epoch seconds remains 01:00, DST or not.

As Brendan O'Conner writes in this blog, mawk is near 8 times faster than gawk, so I am going to give mawk a go, but I got errors when trying to print the length of an array in mawk using length() function, is it not supported in mawk? or there's another way to get the length of an array in mawk?

HI,
i wish to convert a millsec value to a readable string format.
the one option is to use strftime.
However this is a bit costly (1-5 micros).
is there a a faster way to do so with just string manipulation

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
