Features

Tokei is very fast, below are the Tokei's times on a select few large repositories, with a hot cache(times are in seconds and measured using hyperfine on macOS Sierra, with 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, results will vary).

Repository	Real time
UnrealEngine 4	3.90s
DragonFlyBSD	1.50s
Rust	0.28s
CPython	0.18s

Tokei is accurate, Tokei correctly handles multi line comments, nested comments, and not counting comments that are in strings. Providing an accurate code statistics.
Tokei has huge range of languages, supporting over 130 languages, and their various extensions.
Tokei can output in multiple formats(CBOR, JSON, TOML, YAML) allowing Tokei's output to be easily stored, and reused. These can also be reused in tokei combining a previous run's statistics with another set.
Tokei is available on Mac, Linux, and Windows. See installation instructions for how to get Tokei on your platform.
Tokei is also a library allowing you to easily integrate it with other projects.

How to use Tokei

Basic usage

This is the basic way to use tokei. Which will report on the code in ./foo and all subfolders.

$ tokei ./foo

Multiple folders

To have tokei report on multiple folders in the same call simply add a comma, or a space followed by another path.

$ tokei ./foo ./bar ./baz

$ tokei ./foo, ./bar, ./baz

Excluding folders

Tokei will respect all .gitignore and .ignore files, and you can optionally the --exclude option to exclude any addtional files. The --exclude flag has the same semantics as .gitignore.

$ tokei ./foo --exclude *.rs

Sorting output

By default tokei sorts alphabetically by language name, however using --sort tokei can also sort by any of the columns.

blanks, code, comments, lines

$ tokei ./foo --sort code

Outputing file statistics

By default tokei only outputs the total of the languages, and using --files flag tokei can also output individual file statistics.

$ tokei ./foo --files

Outputting into different formats

Tokei normally outputs into a nice human readable format designed for terminals. There is also using the --output option various other formats that are more useful for bringing the data into another program.

Currently supported formats

JSON --output json
YAML --output yaml
TOML --output toml
CBOR --output cbor

$ tokei ./foo --output json

Reading in stored formats

Tokei can also take in the outputted formats added the previous results to it's current run. Tokei can take either a path to a file, the format passed in as a value to the option, or from stdin.

$ tokei ./foo --input ./stats.json

    -V, --version      Prints version information
    -v, --verbose      Set log output level:
                                1: to show unknown file extensions,
                                2: reserved for future debugging,
                                3: enable file level trace. Not recommended on multiple files

Badges

Tokei has support for badges. For example .

[![](https://tokei.rs/b1/github/Aaronepower/tokei)](https://github.com/Aaronepower/tokei).

Tokei's URL scheme is as follows.

https://tokei.rs/{host: values: github|gitlab}/{Repo Owner eg: Aaronepower}/{Repo name eg: tokei}

By default the badge will show the repo's LoC(Lines of Code), you can also specify for it to show a different category, by using the ?category= query string. It can be either code, blanks, files, lines, comments, Example show total lines:

[![](https://tokei.rs/b1/github/Aaronepower/tokei?category=lines)](https://github.com/Aaronepower/tokei).

Plugins

Thanks to contributors tokei is now available as a plugin for some text editors.

Common issues

Tokei says I have a lot of D code, but I know there is no D code!

This is likely due to gcc generating .d files. Until the D people decide on a different file extension, you can always exclude .d files using the -e --exclude flag like so

$ tokei . -e *.d
