+# AWK script to send multiple `sendkey` commands to a QEMU virtual machine.
+# It writes at a rate of roughly 40 keys per second, due to lower delays
+# resulting in garbage output.
+#
+# It makes use of a TCP client created by an external utility, such as OpenBSD
+# Netcat, to interact with QEMU's monitor and send a stream of `sendkey`
+# commands. This is a practical way to transfer a small file or to script
+# interactions with a terminal user interface.
