# WC - Word Count
A clone of the Unix `wc` utility written in Go, implementing the core functionality of counting bytes, lines, words, and characters in text files.
## Features
- Count bytes (-c)
- Count lines (-l)
- Count words (-w)
- Count characters (-m)
- Default mode (equivalent to -c -l -w)
- Support for file input and standard input
- Unicode support
## Building
```bash
go build -o wc ./cmd/wc
```
## Usage
```bash
# Count bytes
./wc -c test.txt
# Count lines
./wc -l test.txt
# Count words
./wc -w test.txt
# Count characters
./wc -m test.txt
# Default mode (lines, words, bytes)
./wc test.txt
# Read from standard input
cat test.txt | ./wc -l
```
## Testing
```bash
go test ./...
```
