xloc

A fast, multi-threaded line counting utility written in Rust.

What is xloc

• Similar to bash's wc command, but can run concurrently.

• Your project has x lines of code, xloc gets the value of x for you.

• xloc is itended to be used from the command line. You can use it to count the number of lines/words in a file, or aggregate the total number of lines/words of all files in a directory.

• While command line utility was the focus, a public API has also been made available to use in your own rust projects in the form of xloc::App.

• By default xloc will ignore any directory named target or .git. This will likely be configurable at a later date.

Getting started

xloc supports Rust version 1.41.1 and greater.

Usage

On the command line

# Count lines for all files in the current dir, with 1 job.
xloc .

# Count words for all files in the current dir with nproc jobs.
xloc -wj $(nproc) .

# Count words for 1 file, with 1 job.
xloc -w test.txt

# Count lines for all files in the src dir, with 6 jobs.
xloc -j 6 src

In a file

// main.rs
use xloc::App;

fn main() {
    // Create a mutable `App` using 1 job.
    let mut app = App::default();
    assert_eq!(app.get_njobs(), 1);

    // Set the number of jobs to 12.
    app.set_njobs(12);
    assert_eq!(app.get_njobs(), 12);

    // Recursively count lines in the current dir.
    match app.count(".") {
        Ok(count) => println!("{} lines", count),
        Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e),
    }
}
