+delimited by one or more blanks or tabs, or by the end of a line.
+If \fIcount\fR is run on more than one file, each output line is identified
+by the file name, and a final output line gives the total number
+of lines, words, and characters in all files.

+current directory with the extensions ".x" and ".h".
