wk - the wc clone

Coding Challenge #1 - Build your own wc!

The functional requirements for wc are concisely described by it’s man page - give it a go in your local terminal now:

man wc

The TL/DR version is: wc – word, line, character, and byte count.

Usage

Clone

git clone git@github.com:vlmaier/wk.git

Install

./install

Run

wk -h

Usage: wk [<options>] [<filename>]

Options:
  -c          The number of bytes in the input file or stdin is written to the stdout.
  -l          The number of lines in the input file or stdin is written to the stdout.
  -m          The number of characters in the input file or stdin is written to the stdout. If the current locale does not
              support multibyte characters, this is equivalent to the -c option. This will cancel out any prior usage of
              the -c option.
  -w          The number of words in the input file or stdin is written to the stdout.
  -h, --help  Show this message and exit
