     NAME
          wc - word count

     SYNOPSIS
          wc [ -lwc ] [ names ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Wc counts lines, words, and characters in the named files,
          or in the standard input if no names appear.  It also keeps
          a total count for all named files.  A word is a string of
          characters delimited by spaces, tabs, or new-lines.

          You can use the options l, w, and c in any combination to
          specify that a subset of lines, words, and characters are to
          be reported.  The default is -lwc.

          When names are specified on the command line, they will be
          printed along with the counts.


     EXAMPLES
          $ wc attachment

          Prints the number of lines, words, and characters in the
          file "attachment" on the standard output.

          $ wc -cw memo

          Prints the number of characters and words in the file
          "memo".

          $ who | wc -l

          Prints the current number of system users on the standard
          output.
