wcs (word count streams)

========================

A tool like wordcount that supports continuous streams at a regular interval

Install

------

Install the command line utility `wcs`

    npm install -g wcs

Usage

-----

    Usage: stream | wcs [interval]

    tail -f  | wcs 1000

Example

-------

If stdin finishes, the program acts just like wc(1)

    $ echo 'hello how are you?' | wc

       1       4      19

    $ echo 'hello how are you?' | wcs

       1 4 19

However, unlike wc(1), `wcs` will count frequency at a regular interval

(1000 ms by default, can be changed by setting the first argument), so

you can do cool things like...

    $ while sleep 1; do echo 'hello how are you?'; done | wcs

    1 4 19

    1 4 19

    1 4 19

    1 4 19

    ^C

    $ while sleep .5; do echo 'hello how are you?'; done | wcs

    2 8 38

    2 8 38

    2 8 38

    2 8 38

    ^C

Known Issues

------------

* Some weirdness with buffering/back pressure on the pipe...

don't fully trust the output
