Editing data with GNU poke mainly involves creating mapped values and storing them in Poke variables. However, this may not be that convenient when poking several files simultaneously, and when the complexity of the data increases. poke provides a convenient mechanism for this: maps and map files.
| • Editing using Variables: | Data is usually edited mapping variables. | |
| • poke Maps: | Maps and map-files. | |
| • Loading Maps: | Using maps defined in files. | |
| • Multiple Maps: | Multiple perspectives of the same data. | |
| • Auto-map: | Loading maps automagically. | |
| • Constructing Maps: | Creating and managing maps on the fly. | |
| • Predefined Maps: | Collection of already-written maps. |
