      NAME
           wc - word count

      SYNTAX
           wc [ -lwc ] [ names ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Wc counts lines, words and characters in the named files, or
           in the standard input if no names appear.  It also keeps a
           total count for all named files.  A word is a maximal string
           of characters delimited by spaces, tabs, or new-lines.

           The options l, w, and c may be used in any combination to
           specify that a subset of lines, words, and characters are to
           be reported.  The default is -lwc.

           When names are specified on the command line, they will be
           printed along with the counts.
