COUNT(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual COUNT(1) NAME count - count items in a file SYNOPSIS count [ -lwcpt ] [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION _C_o_u_n_t counts all the characters, words, lines, and pages in a list of files. The time needed to print the file at 300 baud is also determined. A readable description of the results is produced on the standard output, one line per file, plus a total if more than one file is given. If no files are given, the standard input is read. The options restrict the output to lines, words, characters, pages, and time, respectively. Any combination in any order may be specified. AUTHOR Mark Horton BUGS The time does not take into account delays caused by padding bits, expansion of tabs, or slow systems. Printed 4/29/83 1
