txtmet

$ a command-line text metric utility implemented in both C and Rust

overview archived

txtmet is a simple and lightweight way to see some metrics about plain-text files. It lets you pick exactly which metrics to output (words, characters, lines, sentences) and nothing else runs.

A good fit for developers who want a fast, zero-dependency CLI and anyone learning C or Rust who wants to see the same algorithm expressed in both languages.
