Coding Challenge 1 - Build your own wc! by JOHN CRICKETT

This repository contains an implementation of the Unix wc command line tool, written in Rust. This project is a part of my journey to learn more about Rust and Unix system programming.

About wc

The wc (word count) command in Unix/Linux operating systems is used to find out number of newline count, word count, byte and characters count in a files specified by the file arguments.

About this Implementation

This version of wc is implemented in Rust, a language that I'm currently learning. I chose Rust because of its emphasis on performance, memory safety, concurrency, and I'm still learning it.

Features

  • Counts lines, words, and characters in a file
  • Fast and efficient

Usage

cc-wc -- filename

Note (Linux users):

I'm on windows so probably there's no support for standard input.
