+   (description
+    "Many computer users need to manipulate text files: extract and then
+operate on data from parts of certain lines while discarding the rest, make
+changes in various text files wherever certain patterns appear, and so on.
+To write a program to do these things in a language such as C or Pascal is a
+time-consuming inconvenience that may take many lines of code.  The job is
+easy with awk, especially the GNU implementation: Gawk.
+
+The awk utility interprets a special-purpose programming language that makes
+it possible to handle many data-reformatting jobs with just a few lines of
+code.")
