loc is a tool for counting lines of code. It’s a Rust implementation of cloc, but it’s more than 100x faster.
By default, loc will count lines of code in a target directory. You can also pass one or many targets for it to inspect. To see stats for each file parsed, pass the --files flag.
By default, the columns will be sorted by Code counted in descending order. You can select a different column to sort using the --sort flag.
loc can also be called with regexes to match and/or exclude files.
This is free and open source software.
