zwc - Zig Word Count

This is a small project I made to learn Zig and get comfortable with systems programming.

zwc is a CLI utility written in Zig to count the number of lines, words, characters in a text file similar to the UNIX wc CLI.

Usage

zwc [FILE] [OPTION]

You can also pass other outputs instead of passing a file

echo hello world | zwc

Options

• -h, --help: Show help messages.
• -l, --list: Show only line count.
• -w, --word: Show only word count.
• -c, --char: Show only character count.
• -v, --verbose: Verbose Mode.
• --version: Shows current version.

You can combine options:

zwc input.txt -lwc or zwc input.txt -cw --line etc.

Example

zwc input.txt -l -c

Build

zig build
