Title: wc - Print newline, word, and byte counts for each file

Summary

The `wc` command prints newline, word, and byte counts for each specified file, and a total line if multiple files are given. It can also read from standard input if no file is specified or if '-' is used as the file argument. The command offers options to select which counts are printed, including byte count, character count, newline count, maximum line length, and word count. It also provides options for reading file names from a file and displaying help and version information.
