     __________________________________________________

     USAGE

         usage: cnt [-Dabclmnruw] {file}
             -D: debug
             -a: count all messages and not just data msgs
             -b: count just bytes
             -c: count just characters
             -l: count just lines
             -m: count just msgs
             -n: print just totals
             -r: count just runes
             -u: use unix output
             -w: count just words

     DESCRIPTION

      Cnt counts messages, lines, words, runes, and bytes in the given
     files.  A  word  is  defined  as  a  series  of non-control, non-
     separation-punctuation, and non-space runes at  the  start  of  a
     file   or  after  a  non-word  rune.  A  rune  is  considered  as
     separation-punctuation if it  is  punctuation  and  non-dash  and
     non-connector.   This  definition  is  not  compatible  with  the
     venerable wc UNIX command, but it is more accurate.

     If no file is  given,  the  program  prints  just  the  count(s).
     Otherwise,  it  prints  the count(s) followed by the name of each
     file. All counters are printed by default,  unless  a  flag  says
     otherwise.

     EXAMPLE

         % lf -g , | cnt -u
                1       72      191     1220     1220  all/all.go
                1       33       66      420      420  all/all_test.go
                1       60      209     1311     1311  auth/auth.go
                1      163      501     2966     2966  ch/ch.go
                1      630     1806    11475    11475  cmd.go

     The same may be achieved running

         % cnt -u ,

     Grep for struct or var declarations in go  sources,  filter  only
     those that do not contain ix, and count the words in them:

         % lf -g ,~*.go | gr -xf '^(struct|var)'  '^(}|\))\n' |
             gr -xfve ix | gr -xf '[a-zA-Z]+'  |
             cnt -mu
               15        0        1       49       49  ix.go

     The pipe selects each word and sends a message for each one,  and
     then counting the messages produces the expected result.
