What does ;1 do in awk scripts ?

[barisg]

Hi all,

I have a script as follows;
/^ *[0-9]+K[^ ]+ *$/{sub("^ *[0-9]+K",sprintf("%-8dK",$1))};1

input file has many strings like
445517K33_4
and the output generated by the scripts
445517 K33_4

What is the role of ";1" here ?

Many thanks in advance

'1' is equvalent to 'print $0' vlad
