[bug-gawk] Gawk feature request - file list

[Daniele Zanoli]

Hello,
I'm an enthusiast user of gawk. I hope this is the best address to place a 
feature request (I could not find an "official" place for requests)

Often I have to use gawk on a large number of files with a single execution of 
gawk (I have to compare some file contents) but it is very easy to reach the 
maximum length of the shell command line, since files are in different paths

So I think it would be useful (not only for me) a new command line switch to 
specify a file that contains the names of the files to process (e.g.
gawk .. -list myfilelist.txt ...)

Best regards,
