Flags:
  -c, --c      Outputs the numbers of bytes in the file
  -h, --help   help for go-wc
  -l, --l      Outputs the numbers of lines in the file
  -m, --m      Outputs the numbers of characters in the file

By default, go-wc outputs the number of words, lines, bytes, and characters for the file. You can use the -m and -c flags to display only characters and bytes, and -w and -l to focus on words or lines respectively.

Example: Get the number of words of a file test.txt

./go-wc -w test.txt
