# iwc(1)

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/bfontaine/iwc.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/bfontaine/iwc)

`iwc(1)` is an interactive `wc(1)`. It mostly works like the original `wc` but prints the lines number as it counts them

instead of waiting for the end to print it.

## Install

### With Homebrew

    brew install bfontaine/utils/iwc

### From source

    git clone https://github.com/bfontaine/iwc.git && cd iwc

    git checkout v0.1.3  # last stable version

    $ iwc myfile.txt

See [the man page][man] for all available options.

[man]: https://bfontaine.github.io/iwc

### Examples

You can combine `iwc` with `tail -f` to follow the number of lines in a file

that’s constantly growing (like logs):

    $ tail -f -n +1 your_file | iwc -l
