## General Statistics for a Character Vector

### Description

This function gives general statistics for a character vector, e.g., obtained by loading a text file with the `readLines` or `stri_read_lines` function, where each text line' is represented by a separate string.

### Usage

    stri_stats_general(str)

### Arguments

`str` | character vector to be aggregated

### Details

None of the strings may contain `\r` or `\n` characters, otherwise you will get at error.

Below by 'white space' we mean the Unicode binary property `WHITE_SPACE`, see `stringi-search-charclass`.

### Value

Returns an integer vector with the following named elements:

1. `Lines` - number of lines (number of non-missing strings in the vector);

2. `LinesNEmpty` - number of lines with at least one non-`WHITE_SPACE` character;

3. `Chars` - total number of Unicode code points detected;

4. `CharsNWhite` - number of Unicode code points that are not `WHITE_SPACE`s;

5. ... (Other stuff that may appear in future releases of stringi).
