README
# Wortzahl! Count words **fast**
`wz` is a faster alternative to GNU wc with UTF8 support and human readable
output, written in Rust
# Installation
## Cargo
```sh
cargo install wz
cargo install --git https://github.com/Altair-Bueno/wz.git
```
# Features
## It's fast!
`wz` is heavily optimized for performance. Even if you are counting
multiple files, thanks to [rayon]. [Just look at the benchmarks](BENCH.md)
## Human readable and machine readable formats
Output the results on a nice table, or pipe them to another program
that reads JSON. Stop messing with `sed` and `awk`!
```sh
$ wz *(.) --output json | jq .total.lines
1470
```
## Multiple encoding support
Characters and line lengths are count using UTF8 or UTF16[^1] encoding,
meaning that files with non ASCII characters are count correctly
## Multiple line breaks support
Got a file from an old Macintosh? Change the line break to carriage
returns (`'\r'`)
```sh
wz macintosh.txt -n cr
```
# Performance
See [BENCH.md](BENCH.md)
# Usage
Run `wz --help` to see the full list of options

[^1]: UTF16 support coming later
