Note that this is different from du in that it counts characters, not
bytes. In some encodings a character may be larger than one byte, so
your result would be a little off. And I don't think wc can count
'characters' in binary files at all.
Additionally, du doesn't count files' sizes, but the size that they take
on disk (multiples of the file system's block size).
