cw

A faster line-counting tool

A fast replacement for wc that counts word, line, character and byte counts.

Counts of multiple files may be accelerated by use of the --threads option.

  'xargs <files cw --threads=12' ran
    2.01 ± 0.03 times faster than 'xargs <files cw --threads=4'
   11.55 ± 0.15 times faster than 'xargs <files wc'
