Can `wc` combine options?

Yes, absolutely! You can combine options in wc just like many other Linux commands.

You can combine them in two ways:

Grouped symbols: You can put the letters together after a single dash. For example, to see both the line count and the byte count:
```
wc -lc /etc/passwd
```
Separate symbols: You can list them individually:
```
wc -l -c /etc/passwd
```

wc -lw: Displays lines and words.
wc -wc: Displays words and characters.
wc -lwc: Displays all three (this is the same as the default output when you run wc without options).

This is a great way to filter exactly the information you need. Give it a try in your terminal!
