- PURPOSE
- To count lines, words, and characters.
-
- SPECIFICATION
- COUNT counts lines, words, and characters in the named
- files, or in the default 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 switches LINES, WORDS, and CHARS may be used to spec-
- ify that a subset of lines, words, and characters are to
- be reported. If no switches are given COUNT defaults to
- all of them.
-
- When names are specified on the command line, they will be
- printed along with the counts.
