NAME
     col1  ..  col9,  NF - awk and print a column (based on the name of the pro-
     gram, 1-9)

SYNOPSIS
     col1 [SEPARATOR]

DESCRIPTION
     col1 is a simple script that conveniently splits and prints a given column,
     where the column to print is the name of the script program you're  running
     (col1-col9).  col2-col9 are symlinks to col1; their behavior simply changes
     based on the name called.

     NF can be used to print the last field.

     The  program takes one optional argument, the input field separator (white-
     space, by default).

EXAMPLES
     Rather than:
      mount | awk '{print $3}'

     Try:
      mount | col3

     Instead of:
      cat /etc/passwd | awk -F":" '{print $7}'

     You can just do:
      cat /etc/passwd | col7 :

     Or
      cat /etc/passwd | NF :
