On a tangent, how do you access fields in awk in an atf_check pipeline?
I tried and I tried, and ended up having to use a temporary file and a
non-pipelined atf_check (tests/usr.sbin/traceroute):

    atf_check -o inline:'1.2.3.1\n2.3.4.5\n' awk '{print $2}' < tmpfile

(verified answers only, please ;)
