          _C_o_u_c_h counts the different characters in the argument files
          or the standard input and writes the totals to the standard
          output.  Each output line contains two fields: a character
          and the number of times it appears.  Unprintable characters
          appear in "^_x" format; blank is denoted by "^`".

          Various options select types of characters: ----bbbb for blanks,
          ----cccc for control characters, ----dddd for digits, ----llll for letters,
          and ----pppp for punctuation.  The default is all characters;
          i.e., ----bbbbccccddddllllpppp .... The parity bit is normally ignored; to take
          it into account, specify ----MMMM ....
