-c, --bytes print the byte counts |
-m, --chars print the character counts |
-l, --lines print the newline counts |
--files0-from=F read input from the files specified by NUL-terminated names in file F; If F is - then read names from standard input |
-L, --max-line-length print the length of the longest line |
-w, --words print the word counts |
--help display this help and exit |
