# wc

A worse implementation of gnu wc but in rust.

Not identical output to wc because it would take a lot of effort to cover all the strange edge cases
For example: wc does not count the last line of a file if it doesnt have the end of line char.
My implementation does which can cause the results to be slightly different.

```
Usage: wc [OPTION]... [FILE]...
or: wc [OPTION]... --files0-from=F
Print newline, word, and byte counts for each FILE, and a total line if
more than one FILE is specified. A word is a non-zero-length sequence of
characters delimited by white space.

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

The options below may be used to select which counts are printed, always in
the following order: newline, word, character, byte, maximum line length.

Arguments:
[FILE]...

Options:
-c, --bytes print the byte counts
-m, --chars print the character counts
-l, --lines print the newline counts
--files0-from read input from the files specified by
NUL-terminated names in file F;
If F is - then read names from standard input
-L, --max-line-length print the maximum display width
-w, --words print the word counts
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
