#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Script Name: count_files.sh
# Description: Counts the number of directories, files, and total count in a specified directory,
#              with options to filter by extension and set traversal depth.
# Usage: count_files.sh [--directory <dir>] [--depth <depth>] [--extension <ext>] [--help]
#        --directory <dir>   (optional) - the directory to count files in (default: current directory)
#        --depth <depth>     (optional) - the maximum depth of directory traversal (default: unlimited)
#        --extension <ext>   (optional) - only count files with the specified extension
#        --help              (optional) - display this help message
# Example:
#   ./count_files.sh
#   ./count_files.sh --directory /path/to/dir --depth 2 --extension txt
