.SH NAME
.B ax
\- evaluate an awk expression
.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B ax '2.0+3.0'
+.B ax
+\&'2.0+3.0'
.br
-.B ax %.2f 'sin(2)'
+.B ax
+\&'%.2f\\n' 'sin(2)'
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ax
evaluates an expression given on the command line with awk(1) and prints its
result using awk's printf, with an optional format specified preceding the
expression.
+.SH SECURITY
+Note that the second argument has no evaluation protection on it. There's very
+little to stop a user putting a fully-fledged awk program in as the second
+argument if they needed to. Don't accept untrusted user input in this argument!
