GENERIC_COUNT(1)

💖 GENERIC_COUNT(1) · generic_count 💖

okay bestie, the manual name here is generic_count and it's giving tiny-but-mighty energy 🧚

✨ NAME ✨

generic_count — count physical lines of code, given a comment marker 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

generic_count commentstart [ --f file ] files...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ngl this is a trivial/naive program (no shame, it knows what it is 🙈), and it exists to power the scripts in the sloccount toolsuite. This manpage is the one for ALL of those scripts, the ones that use generic_count. Currently that's ada_count, awk_count, csh_count, erlang_count, exp_count, lisp_count, makefile_count, ruby_count, sed_count, sh_count, and tcl_count 💜

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• commentstart — the string that starts a comment, which keeps going until the end of the line ✨
• -f file — a file holding a list of files to count. If you pass -, it reads that list from stdin instead 🫶 It can totally coexist with a list of files on the command line too.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

See sloccount(1) for additional details about the SLOCCount suite 🍓
