.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
wc [-c|-m] [-lw] [files...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
wc is a standard Unix tool that tallies up the number of words (series of
|
|
non-blank bytes), lines (newlines), and bytes or characters in input.
|
|
|
|
Characters in the context of wc includes multi-byte character support; that
|
|
bytes are called characters is an unfortunate notational happenstance.
|
