By default, a 5-line header is printed: two blank lines; a line with the
-date, the filename, and the page count; and two more blank lines. A

five line footer (entirely) is also printed.
Form feeds in the input cause page breaks in the output.

@cindex total counts
@code{wc} prints one line of counts for each file, and if the file was

number of blocks in the file (rounded up). If more than one @var{file}
