NAME
     wc - word count

SYNOPSIS
     wc [ -lwc ] [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     _W_c counts lines, words and characters in the named files, or
     in the standard input if no name appears.	A word is a maxi-
     mal string of characters delimited by spaces, tabs or new-
     lines.

     If an argument beginning with one of ``lwc'' is present, the
     specified counts (lines, words, or characters) are selected
     by the letters l, w, or c.  The default is -lwc.
