17.7 The Sample Extensions in the 'gawk' Distribution
=====================================================

This minor node provides a brief overview of the sample extensions that
come in the 'gawk' distribution.  Some of them are intended for
production use (e.g., the 'filefuncs', 'readdir', and 'inplace'
extensions).  Others mainly provide example code that shows how to use
the extension API.
