Reading from a pipe: -stdin

By default, URLs to be checked are initially specified on the command line. However, if you add the option -stdin to the command line, then Big Brother will also read URLs from standard input. It expects to find one URL per line, without any other information.

This could be useful, for instance, if you have a file containing a raw list of URLs. You could have it checked by issuing the command

bigbro -stdin [other options] < myfile.raw

Big Brother will then read the file myfile.raw, line per line, and check each of the URLs it contains.
