Reading .torrent files from stdin about magnet-link

[ungoldman]

Sounds good to me! @Teteros do you have experience reading from stdin? What do you think is the best way to implement that?

[Teteros]

@ngoldman Only as a user I'm afraid :(
No development background unfortunately so I can't say...

[elsehow]

you should be able to process.stdin.pipe()

see stream-handbook

parse-torrent may be useful, if you don't use it already

magnet-link@^1.1.1 introduces pipe support. So you can do:

cat torrent.file | magnet-link
magnet-link < torrent.file
create-torrent . | magnet-link
