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.

INTERNATIONAL FUNCTIONALITY
     Files can contain characters from supplementary code sets.

     With the -c option, characters from supplementary code sets
     are counted in bytes, not characters.  With -w option, char-
     acters from supplementary code set are ignored during count-
     ing.
