 Using `gawk' with BSD Portals
 =============================
 
    Similar to the `/inet' special files, if `gawk' is configured with
 the `--enable-portals' option ( Compiling `gawk' for Unix Quick
 Installation.), then `gawk' treats files whose pathnames begin with
 `/p' as 4.4 BSD-style portals.
 
    When used with the `|&' operator, `gawk' opens the file for two-way
 communications.  The operating system's portal mechanism then manages
 creating the process associated with the portal and the corresponding
 communications with the portal's process.
