class SyntaxTree::BEGINBlock

BEGINBlock represents the use of the BEGIN keyword, which hooks into the lifecycle of the interpreter. Whatever is inside the block will get executed when the program starts.

BEGIN {
}

Interestingly, the BEGIN keyword doesn’t allow the do and end keywords for the block. Only braces are permitted.

Attributes

comments[R]

Array[ Comment | EmbDoc ]: the comments attached to this node

lbrace[R]

LBrace: the left brace that is seen after the keyword

statements[R]

Statements: the expressions to be executed
