wcx

An Elixir implementation of the Unix wc command line utility.

Build

mix escript.build

This produces a wc binary in the project root.

Usage

./wc [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Read from stdin when no files are given:

echo "hello world" | ./wc

Options

Flag Long Description
-l --lines print the newline counts
-w --words print the word counts
-c --bytes print the byte counts
-m --chars print the character counts
-L --longest print the longest line length
-h --help display help and exit

Default (no flags) is equivalent to -lwc.
