(so less priority as available)
The synopsis of wc command is not correct, because c and m flag are not
together usable.
Manual file part...
SYNOPSIS
wc [--libxo] [-Lclmw] [file ...]
...
-c ... This will cancel out any prior usage of the -m option.
...
-m ... This will cancel out any prior usage of the -c option.
This is different to GNU implementation, because GNU wc supports both flags
together. But the problem is only the not clarify SYNOPSIS or the
implementation allow both together
Source code part /usr/bin/wc/wc.c lines 104 / 111:
while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "clmwL")) != -1)
switch((char)ch) {
case 'l':
doline = true;
break;
case 'w':
doword = true;
break;
case 'c':
dochar = true;
domulti = false;
break;
case 'L':
dolongline = true;
break;
case 'm':
domulti = true;
dochar = false;
break;
case '?':
default:
usage();
}
