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

## SYNOPSIS

`count` `[--dir]` `[--hidden]` `[--link]` `[--output=FILE]` `[DIR...]`

## DESCRIPTION

**count** counts the number of files in a directory, or directories. It can also be configured (see [OPTIONS][]) to include directories, symbolic links, and hidden files in that count. Additionally, a C library is provided, see count(3) for more information.

## OPTIONS

These options control what types of files are counted, and whether output is written to a file or standard output.

`-o  FILE`, `--output=FILE`:

  Output to the given file instead of standard output.

`-h`, `--hidden`:

  Include hidden files (that is, those beginning with ".") in the file count.

`-d`, `--dir`:

  Include directories in the file count (non-recursive). Does not include cwd (".") or parent directory ("..")

`-l`, `--link`:

  Include symbolic links in the file count.

Miscellaneous options:

`-?`, `--help`:

  Show a short help menu.

`--usage`:

  Show a quick summary of usage options.

`-V`, `--version`:

  Show count version and exit.

## EXAMPLES

Count the number of files and folders in the home directory, excluding hidden files and folders:

    $ count /home/$USER -d

    5

    $

Count the number of files, including hidden and linked ones, in /var/www/html, and output it to the file /home/$USER/count.txt:

    $ count /var/www/html -hl --output=/home/$USER/count.txt

    $ cat /home/$USER/count.txt

    12

    $

## NOTES

The current working directory ("."), and parent directory ("..") are not included in any counts. No counts are recursive.
