From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can also add to the output. I use it frequently to pull a list of files, etc, from another file, and then do something like generate another script from that output. This is a weak example, but one I can think of off my head. Not firing up my work laptop to search for better examples until after the holidays. LOL.
awk {'print "ls -l "$1'}
And then send that to a file that I can then execute.
