## Overview

This small AWK utility formats command-line tabular output, especially DB2 CLP query results. The user runs a query and pipes its output to the script; the script uses column headings to determine widths and emits aligned columns. The README documents this flow, but no source excerpt was available to confirm implementation details beyond that description.

Main entry points: [`format.awk`](https://github.com/luizsilvadba/format_output/blob/master/format.awk) (AWK formatter)
