Version 0.2.2 behavior is documented here. Thesupport record separates local verification frompublished MoonX behavior; moonx examples use registry releases.
Count lines, words, and bytes without installing anything:
Options: -l lines, -w words, -c bytes, -m characters, and-L maximum display width under the fixed C-locale profile. In this profile,every input byte counts as a character, so -m and -c produce equal counts,including for UTF-8 and malformed byte sequences. Other locale profiles arenot claimed. With no flags itprints lines, words, and bytes. Named inputs use GNU's file-size-based alignment;stdin uses the seven-column stream layout when multiple counters are selected.A single selected counter for one input has no leading padding.--files0-from=FILE reads NUL-delimited file names (- means stdin) andcannot be combined with positional file operands.
--total=WHEN controls the aggregate row: auto (the default) prints it formultiple inputs, always also prints it for one input or an empty file list,never omits it, and only prints just the aggregate counters without names,the total label or leading alignment spaces. Failed inputs still producediagnostics and a nonzero status; successful counts remain in the aggregate.Repeated --total uses the last value; unambiguous value prefixes are accepted.Read failures retain the counters already observed for an opened input andcontinue later files. A failed open has no individual output row.
Only selected counters run. Byte and character modes accumulate chunk sizes;line mode scans newline bytes. All modes reuse a 64 KiB read buffer.
With no file operand, the command silently reads stdin until EOF; terminal,pipe, and redirection paths do not receive a repository-specific prompt.
Standalone --version prints exactly wc 0.2.2 followed by onenewline. Standalone --help starts with Usage: wc, lists bothmetadata options, and ends with a newline. Both write to stdout, leave stdinunread, and exit with status 0. Exact-version publication and verificationremain recorded separately in the support record.
