1) About ______________________________________________________________________

cline is a command line tool that counts code lines in your project folder. It
is designed to recursively find any source file matching specific rules and
count the line breaks within that file. You may specify file suffixes to include
or exclude as well as regular expressions for code lines that shall be excluded
(e.g. to exclude comments). By default a heuristic algorithm skips binary files.
You may configure the restrictiveness of this algorithm with command line
options.

Type cline --help for further information.

2) Build instructions _________________________________________________________

If you checked out the sources from version control, you firstly need to run
  ./prebuild.sh
This requires autotools installed on your system.
  
In release version you can skip the first task and just run
  ./configure && make

After building you get a system wide install with
  sudo make install

To enable a debug build, configure with
  ./configure --enable-debug

3) Example usage ______________________________________________________________

You can test cline right away with the cline project files. Just type:
  cline -rms .c,.h --exclude-cstyle-comments

This will find any .c or .h file recursively in the cline project folder and
won't display other files (-m option). It will also skip comments when counting
lines.
