<li>Splitting input into a sequence of <code>records</code>.
By default split at <code>newline</code> character, but can be changed via the

<li>Splitting a <code>record</code> into <code>fields</code>. By default strings without <code>whitespace</code>,
but can be changed via the builtin variable <code>FS</code> or command line option

</ol>
<p>Fields are accessed as follows:</p>

<h2><a class="header" href="#dynamic-linking-x86_64" id="dynamic-linking-x86_64">Dynamic Linking (x86_64)</a></h2>
<p>Dynamic linking basically works via one indirect jump. It uses a combination of
function trampolines (<code>.plt</code> section) and a function pointer table (<code>.got.plt</code>
section).
On the first call the trampoline sets up some metadata and then jumps to the
<code>ld.so</code> runtime resolve function, which in turn patches the table with the
correct function pointer.</p>
<pre><code class="language-makrdown"> .plt ....... procedure linkage table, contains function trampolines, usually
located in code segment (rx permission)

<li>The first trampoline jumps to <code>GOT[2]</code> which will be filled at program
startup by the <code>ld.so</code> with its resolve function.</li>
<li>The <code>ld.so</code> resolve function fixes the relocation referenced by the
relocation index pushed by the <code>puts</code> trampoline.</li>
<li>The relocation entry at index <code>0</code> tells the resolve function which symbol to
search for and where to put the function pointer:
