rwc

This is just a simple version of GNU/wc command clone, written in Rust.
For rust beginners, feel free to look this project for practice :)
(Using Clap-v4)

Features

What I had archived are as follows:

• Support for reading multiple files and calculating the result in parrllel
• Pretty tabled output
• Colorful progress bar for reading files (It is useful when reading large file)
• Completions for common shells (Look here for more information)

Note:
It is super faster and prettier than wc command when reading a large of big files. (Thanks to rayon)
But it may be slower when reading a small numbers of small files due to time spending for runtime building.

For the Chinese, you could view my blog about using clap-rs to write this project

Installation

Manual

git clone https://github.com/jedsek/rust-wc
cd rust-wc
cargo build --release

The path of command is rust-wc/target/release/rwc, you could copy/move it to other place
or just cargo run --release -- <args>

You could download the binary published in Release

Examples

• Count the files in the specified directory with all options enabled:

$ rwc all src/*

  -h, --help          Print help information
  -V, --version       Print version information

Welcome

Welcome to open issus when you meet problems or want to improve the code.
Thanks :)

TODOs

• Better handling directories arguments
• Output should report errors when the file could't be read
• Respect .gitignore file
