This is a clone of the UNIX command tool wc written in Golang. As a clone, it tries to mimic all behaviors from the origin; however, there are still some minor differences.
Currently, ccwc supports only one file input, or STDIN input. Support for multiple file inputs may, but is not guaranteed to, be added in the future.
git clone <this repo>
cd ccwc
go build
./ccwc [FLAGS] [FILE]
The following flags are currently supported:
-c, --bytes Print the byte counts
-m, --chars Print the character counts
-h, --help help for ccwc
-l, --lines Print the newline counts
-w, --words Print the word counts
If no flags is provided, the outputs will be in format [line_count] [word_count] [byte_count].
Whenever multiple outputs is required, the structure will be [line_count (if applicable) -> [word_count] (if applicable) -> [char_count] (if applicable -> [byte_count] (if applicable). This is also the output format used by wc.
This program was written thanks to the encouragement from this coding challenge. However, the exact implimentation didn't follow what was described there, but rather the behavior of wc tool version (GNU coreutils) 8.32.
