A .diff for '/usr/share/man/man1/wc.1.gz' is attached.

Before:
        wc \- print the number of newlines, words, and bytes in files

After:
        wc \- for text files, count newlines, words and bytes

Notes: when seaching with 'apropos', "print" and "number" are vague to the point of being useless. On my system:

        apropos number | wc -l
        160     
        apropos print | wc -l
        221
        apropos count | wc -l   # fewer
        22

An unqualified 'files' is worse:

        apropos files | wc -l
        379
        apropos file | wc -l
        1147
        apropos "text files" | wc -l  # fewer
        9
        apropos "text file" | wc -l   # ""
        12

Trivia:  a Bell Labs Unix manual says "wc - word count".

HTH...
