Unix Word Count Utility in Go

wc command in Unix systems, implemented in Go.

Steps to use the project:

1. make build → creates the go-wc executable
2. sudo ln -s "$PWD/go-wc" /usr/local/bin/go-wc → creates a symbolic link to the go-wc executable in $PATH so we don't have to use the ./ prefix everytime we run the app.
3. go-wc [-c | -l | -w] <file-name> or cat <file-name> | go-wc [-c | -l | -w] or simply go-wc [-c | -l | -w] and you can type directly to the terminal, and the app will start counting words.
4. Optional flags:
   • -c → Prints bytes in the given stream
   • -l → Prints lines in the given stream
   • -w → Prints words in the given stream
