Welcome to wc-cli, a blazing-fast reimagining of the classic wc command, written in Rust! 🦀 This project is inspired by Unix's wc command, and it's here to help you count words, lines, characters, and more—quickly and efficiently.

• Line Count (-l): Count the number of lines in a file.
• Word Count (-w): Get the word count with precision.
• Character Count (-c): How many characters are in your file? Find out!
• Longest Line (-L): Measure the length of the longest line for optimized file reading.
• Bytes Count (-m): Count the number of bytes in a file.
• Total (--total): Show total counts across multiple files with always, never, or auto modes.

Installing wc-cli is easy! First, make sure you have Rust installed on your machine. Then, run the following commands:

 git clone https://github.com/mohanadft/wc-cli.git # Clone the Repo cd wc-cli # Go inside the package cargo install --path . # Install the package globally

Simple and intuitive to use! Just like the Unix wc command, but better 😉.

 wc-cli [OPTIONS] [FILE_NAME]... Arguments: [FILE_NAME]... files to be read Options: -c, --bytes print the byte counts -m, --chars print the chars counts -l, --lines print the lines counts -w, --words print the words counts -L, --max-line-length print the maximum display width --total <TOTAL> when to print a line with total counts; [default: always] [possible values: auto, always, never] -h, --help Print help -V, --version Print version

Rust's zero-cost abstractions and memory safety make wc-cli not only fast but also reliable and safe for handling large files without breaking a sweat.
