WC(1)                       General Commands Manual                      WC(1)

NAME
       wc - count characters, words, and lines in a file

SYNOPSIS
       wc [-clw] file ...

OPTIONS
       -c     Print character count

       -l     Print line count

       -w     Print word count

EXAMPLES
       wc file1 file2      # Print all three counts for both files

       wc -l file          # Print line count only

DESCRIPTION
       Wc reads each argument and computes the number of characters, words and
       lines it contains.  A word is delimited by white space (space, tab,  or
       line feed).  If no flags are present, all three counts are printed.

                                                                         WC(1)
