A word is a non−zero−length sequence of characters delimited by white space. The options below may be used to select which counts are printed, always in the following order: newline, word, character, byte, maximum line length.
−c, −−bytesprint the byte counts
−m, −−charsprint the character counts
−l, −−linesprint the newline counts
−−files0−from=Fread input from the files specified by NUL−terminated names in file F; If F is − then read names from standard input
−L, −−max−line−lengthprint the length of the longest line
−w, −−wordsprint the word counts
