wc Command

Purpose

Counts the number of lines, words, bytes, or characters in a file.

Syntax

wc [ -c | -m ] [ -l ] [ -w ] [ File ... ]

wc -k [ -c ] [ -l ] [ -w ] [ File ... ]

Description

       By default, the wc command counts the number of lines, words, and bytes in the files
       specified by the File parameter. The command writes the number of newline characters, words,
       and bytes to the standard output and keeps a total count for all named files.

       When you use the File parameter, the wc command displays the file names as well as the
       requested counts. If you do not specify a file name for the File parameter, the wc command
       uses standard input.

The wc command is affected by the LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LC_MESSAGES environment
variables.

The wc command considers a word to be a string of characters of non-zero length which are
delimited by a white space (for example SPACE , TAB).

Flags

       -c
            Counts bytes unless the -k flag is specified. If the -k flag is specified, the wc
            command counts characters.
       -k
            Counts characters. Specifying the -k flag is equivalent to specifying the -klwc flag. If
            you use the -k flag with other flags, then you must include the -c flag. Otherwise, the
            -k flag is ignored. For more information, see examples 4 and 5.

Note: This flag is to be withdrawn in a future release.

       -l
            Counts lines.
       -m
            Counts characters. This flag cannot be used with the -c flag.
       -w
            Counts words. A word is defined as a string of characters delimited by spaces, tabs, or
            newline characters.
                 Note: If no flag is specified, wc by default counts the lines, words, bytes in a
                 file or from standard input.

Exit Status

       This command returns the following exit values:
       0
            The command ran successfully.

>0
An error occurred.

2 To display only byte and word counts, enter:

wc -cw chap*

            The wc command displays the number of bytes and words in each file that begins with
            chap. The command also displays the total number of bytes and words in these files.

5 To use the wc command on standard input, enter:

            The wc command displays the number of lines and words in standard input. The -k flag is
            ignored.
       6    To display the character counts of a file, enter:

wc -m chap1

The wc command displays the number of characters in the chap1 file.
