title: 'awkreader: File Reading with Pre-Filtering, Pattern Searching, and Distributed
  Files'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.awkreader
abstract: Provides high-performance tools for out-of-core text processing and data
  ingestion by leveraging system 'AWK' utilities. Allows users to count records, filter
  rows, and compute streaming aggregations—such as group-by means, streaming medians,
  standard deviations, and correlations—directly on disk prior to reading data into
  R. By delegating line-by-line filtering and summarization to system-level 'AWK'
  commands and streaming results back through data.table::fread(), the package significantly
  reduces memory footprint and execution times when working with large individual
  files or multi-file directory structures.
