wc is a Python-based command-line tool that replicates some of the functionalities of the Unix wc utility. This tool allows users to count bytes, words, lines, and characters in a given text file or standard input.

• Count the number of bytes in the text.
• Count the number of lines in the text.
• Count the number of words in the text.
• Count the number of characters in the text.
• Read input from a file or standard input.

To use pywc, you can pass in a filename or pipe text into it from standard input. Here are some examples of how to use pywc:

# Count lines, words, and characters in a file
python3 wc.py test.txt

# Count only lines from standard input
cat test.txt | python3 wc.py -l

# Count only words in a file
python3 wc.py -w test.txt

# Count only characters in a file
python3 wc.py -m test.txt

# Count only bytes in a file
python3 wc.py -c test.txt

• -c, --bytes Count the number of bytes.
• -l, --lines Count the number of lines.
• -w, --words Count the number of words.
• -m, --chars Count the number of characters.
