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 maximal string of characters delimited
       by spaces, tabs, or new-lines.

       The options l, w, and c may be used 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.
