- NAME
- wc - print the number of bytes, words, and lines in files
-
- SYNOPSIS
- wc [-clw] [--bytes] [--chars] [--lines] [--words] [file...]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents the GNU version of wc. wc counts
- the number of bytes, whitespace-separated words, and new-
- lines in each given file, or the standard input if none are
- given or when a file named `-' is given. It prints one line
- of counts for each file, and if the file was given as an
- argument, it prints the filename following the counts. If
- more than one filename is given, wc prints a final line con-
- taining the cumulative counts, with the filename `total'.
- The counts are printed in the order: lines, words, bytes.
-
- By default, wc prints all three counts. Options can specify
- that only certain counts be printed. Options do not undo
- others previously given, so wc --_b_y_t_e_s --_w_o_r_d_s prints both
- the byte counts and the word counts.
-
- OPTIONS
- -_c, --_b_y_t_e_s, --_c_h_a_r_s
- Print only the byte counts.
-
- -_w, --_w_o_r_d_s
- Print only the word counts.
-
- -_l, --_l_i_n_e_s
- Print only the newline counts.
-
- The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as
- `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually
- support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible
- with the POSIX.2 standard.
