NAME
wc - word count
USAGE
wc [ -lwc ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
Wc counts lines, words, and characters in a named file, or
in the standard input if you do not specify a file. A word
is defined as a maximal string of characters delimited by
spaces, tabs, or newlines. If you give more than one
filename as an argument, wc performs an individual count on
each file, as well as a total count of lines, words, and
characters in all files specified. In any case, it always
lists the names of specified files along with the count.
OPTIONS
You may use the l, w, and c options in any combination to
specify that a subset of lines, words, and characters are to
be reported. The default is -lwc.
