About WordCount

WordCount is a fun, non-commercial web page that counts how often words, names or functions appear in the Linux kernel source code. Users can browse an example list of terms or type their own comma-separated list to see the counts.

Results are shown as graphs. With JavaScript enabled, the graphs are interactive. Without JavaScript, the page falls back to an older static image that the source describes as outdated. The source does not say how often the data is updated.
