Summary0001756: awk: line breaks missing between output_redirection forms
Description


The "Output Statements" section begins with the following text:


Both print and printf statements shall write to standard output by default. The output shall be written to the location specified by output_redirection if one is supplied, as follows:

> expression>> expression| expression



As seen in Issue 8, draft 3, page 2602, lines 85263-85265 (I don't have access to any Issue 7 PDFs), the three output_redirection forms should be on three separate lines.




The same issue affects at least the following older online publications:


Desired Action


Change:


> expression>> expression| expression
