This is an implementation of the wc command present in unix systems, in python. The wc command is used to count the number of bytes, words, and lines in a file. It can also be used to count the number of charaters in a file based on the locale settings. The input to the command can also be a pipe from the standard input such as from the cat command.
\newline
The wc command can be used in the following way:
python3 ccwc.py [OPTION]... [FILE]...The options that can be used with the wc command are:
-c: This option is used to count the number of bytes in a file.-m: This option is used to count the number of characters in a file.-l: This option is used to count the number of lines in a file.-w: This option is used to count the number of words in a file.
The wc command can be used with multiple files as well. In that case, the wc command will display the total number of bytes, words, and lines in all the files. If no option is provided, the wc command will display the number of bytes, words, and lines in the file along with the file name.
