# WC - Word Count Command in Golang
A simple implementation of the `wc` (word count) command in Golang. This project provides basic functionality to count lines, words, characters, and bytes in a file.

## About the Project
The `wc` command is a utility in Unix and Unix-like operating systems that provides line, word, and byte count options. This Golang implementation offers a subset of the `wc` functionality.
## Usage
To use this `wc` implementation, run the following command:
```bash
go run main.go -
```
Replace `` with one of the following:
- `-c` : Byte count
- `-l` : Line count
- `-w` : Word count
- `-m` : Character count
- (No option) : Display line, word, byte count
Replace `` with the path to the file you want to analyze.
Example:
```bash
go run main.go -l sample.txt
```
## Options
- `-c` : Display the byte count.
- `-l` : Display the line count.
- `-w` : Display the word count.
- `-m` : Display the character count.
- (No option) : Display all counts (lines, words, bytes).
### Sample Output Cases
Assuming your `main.go` is set up to handle command-line arguments and call the appropriate `wc` function:
#### Byte Count (`-c`)
```bash
go run main.go -c example.txt
# Output: 123 example.txt
```
#### Line Count (`-l`)
```bash
go run main.go -l example.txt
# Output: 10 example.txt
```
#### Word Count (`-w`)
```bash
go run main.go -w example.txt
# Output: 35 example.txt
```
#### Character Count (`-m`)
```bash
go run main.go -m example.txt
# Output: 157 example.txt
```
#### All Counts (No Option)
```bash
go run main.go example.txt
# Output: 10 35 123 example.txt
```
