6.0; flen (file_length), revision 6.0, 83/04/21
FLEN (FILE_LENGTH) -- Count lines, words, and characters in a file.
usage:  FLEN [-L | -W | -C]... [pathname ...]    {CL}


FORMAT

  FLEN [options] [pathname ...]


  FLEN prints the number of lines, words, and characters in each of the named
  files.  A word is defined as any sequence of characters delimited by tabs,
  spaces, and NEWLINEs.  If more than one file is specified, totals for all
  the files are printed, also.


ARGUMENT

  pathname
  (optional)       Specify input file.  Multiple file names and wildcarding
                   are permitted.
                   Default if omitted: read standard input; suppress total
                                       counts


OPTIONS

  If no options are specified, all counts are reported.

  -L               Print only line counts.

  -W               Print only word counts.

  -C               Print only character counts.

  Options may be mixed to achieve the desired reporting results.

  FLEN uses the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard command
  options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLE

  $ flen -L -C mary    Print the number of lines and characters in the
                        file 'mary'.
