vwc — A GNU-compatible wc implementation with visual preview.

Usage: vwc [OPTION]… [FILE]… or: vwc [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 printable characters delimited by white space.

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

Live preview of counts is shown every 200ms to stderr if stderr is a TTY.

Options: -c, –bytes print the byte counts -m, –chars print the character counts -l, –lines print the newline counts -w, –words print the word counts -L, –max-line-length print the maximum display width –files0-from=F read input from the files specified by NUL-terminated names in file F; If F is - then read names from standard input –total=WHEN when to print a line with total counts; WHEN can be: auto, always, only, never –help display this help and exit –version print version information and exit
