wc bash

Question

The "wc" command is used to display information about the number of lines, words, and characters in a file or standard input. Here's how you can use it in a Bash terminal:

1. To count the number of lines in a file:

   bash

   wc -l filename

2. To count the number of words in a file:

   bash 

   wc -w filename

3. To count the number of characters in a file:

   bash 

   wc -c filename

4. To count the number of lines, words, and characters in a file:

   bash 

   wc filename

If you don't specify a filename, the "wc" command will read from standard input. You can provide input manually, and once you're done, press Ctrl+D to signal the end of the input. For example:

bash 

wc This is an example To test the wc command Ctrl+D

This will output the number of lines, words, and characters in the provided input.
