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.
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.
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.
- Counts lines, words, and characters in a file
- Fast and efficient
cc-wc -- filename
I'm on windows so probably there's no support for standard input.
