## Description

Tokei is a command-line utility designed to analyze the composition of software projects by calculating the volume of source code, comments, and blank lines. It provides detailed metrics on codebase size and structure, allowing users to audit project distribution across multiple programming languages.

The tool distinguishes itself through high-performance analysis capabilities that handle complex syntax, including nested comments and string literals. It utilizes parallel directory traversal and memory-mapped file access to process large codebases efficiently, while employing a centralized configuration schema to map file extensions to specific parsing rules.

Users can refine their analysis through configurable search parameters that filter by language or file type. The utility also supports sorting and ranking of results based on specific metrics, such as file count or code density, to provide clear visibility into the growth and technical composition of a repository.
