Input ==> An nSGML file : [<filename> or stdin]

-t

Count only top level elements. This form is useful for counting matches found by e.g. sggrep.

SGCOUNT OUTPUT FORMAT

The output consists of lines of the form
<SGML elname> TAB <freq> TAB <idfreq>
where <freq> is the number of times that <SGML elname> occurs in the input file and <idfreq> is the number of times that it occurs with an explicit attribute of type ID.
