An easy to use and fast tool that counts the number of lines from files.
Think of it as wc -l and grep -c merged in a single tool with compressed
file support. It also doesn't count lines on unsupported files format
(because yes, wc -l gives you the number of text lines in a video), and
nicely formats the output.
For now, it's already faster than things like zcat myfile.gz | wc -l or
zgrep -c '>' myHugeFastaFile.gz. However, it's way slower than a simple
wc -l or grep -c. Help's needed to figure out why!
Supported compression format:
gzipbzip2

$ cargo build --release
